The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Trans friends in the US who buy your own syringes, & anyone else this might be relevant to:
Just discovered my usual ones are on indefinite backorder because they're made in China. It's a good idea to double-check yours NOW, before you start running low, so you can find alternatives if needed.
