The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

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.

35,000 responses as of 2 days ago!

It's especially helpful to share among LGBTQ+ groups who are:
- Age 25 or older
- Outside of the USA
- Not white

Only 18% of respondents are over 31, and over half are in the USA, so it really helps to get the word out to as many different places as possible.

Here's a survey for people whose genders are a bit [mysterious hand-waggling]:

This morning on day 4 I woke up to about 28,000 responses, not bad! Looking at the graphs, it seems like the response rate is much higher than last year.
