Gender Census @gendercensus.bsky.social · Jul 30

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.

Title: Gender Census 2025.

Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part.

Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.

Goth Music Latin America

@gothmusiclatam.bsky.social

Someone I know wants a sexy goth/post-punk playlist. Between the fact that I don't use Spotify (which is what I assume she's asking for) and the fact that, among my iTunes playlists, none of them are sexiness-themed, I can't be of much assistance. Do any of you know of any?

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.

This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!

Huge win for trans people in MT!

People need to stop using masks as a political football. The reality is that climate change and pandemics are here to stay and increasing in threat. We need to help people protect themselves and their communities by raising awareness about best practices and distributing high quality masks for free.
