The 2024 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th June 2024.

It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.

Thank you so much!

[pt/ fish guts /end pt]

you have the eyes of a fish

cold and dead and strong

you have the eyes of a fish

where did I go wrong?

you have the eyes of a fish

helpless yet unafraid

you have the eyes of a fish

so every day I pray.

mutuals and followers at large I'm glad you're alive and I hope it gets easier

I promise you, relationship anarchy is a good thing. Tell your friends you love them. Go on dates. Domme them. Take them to weddings. Have a relationship with the sub from the dungeon where she does your taxes or you mow his lawn. Help your neighbor plant begonias and become their honorary granddaughter. Become friends with your partner’s partners. Cuddle with your book club and talk about Polysecure or something, idk.

I don’t care. Just stop expecting every relationship to follow a specific pattern and instead find the beauty you both want in your specific relationship with that other person.

Life is more than the nuclear family and strict pseudo-Christian mythological ideals.

I think i should be allowed to carry my stuffed toys around. All the time. Everyday. I need the support.

that one friend who is insanely smart, but also the most oblivious person on earth

Doofenshmirtz is one of us

Hey did y'all know that autistic people do not need to have or acquire some "special autism talent" to make up for their disability and that you shouldn't expect them to have/find one?

left foot, right foot, left foot, one step at a time. Hope is a thing with dirt under her fingernails.

btw i figured it all out and life is about laughing with your friends & listening to your fave songs. you’re welcome

I bring a sort of "can't read social cues" vibe to every social situation that I can't tell if anyone likes or not

big neurodivergent mood

the defining ‘heinz is autistic’ moment for me was in the death trap episode when he has a flashback to his brother eloquently complimenting his aunt and heinz just shouts about the mole on her face, and that even in hindsight he just thinks that was appropriate to say bc that mole was so big

Lawrence Fletcher going to a party and proceeding to stand in the corner excitedly telling his own wife gay facts about ancient Egypt makes him canonically autistic. You can’t change my mind.

ferb is the best autistic-coded character ever written because he basically only ever talks to dump a random bit of barely-relevant trivia, make a joke, or complain and if that isn’t the biggest fucking mood

Me in every situation ever:

Autistic Headcanon:

Candace Flynn from Phineas and Ferb

1. She has a strong black and white moral code.

Candace is constantly trying to bust Phineas and Ferb, along with being obsessed with enforcing the rules and being the one in charge. Even after seeing people enjoying their creations, she still continues try and bust them (in most cases) because what matters most is the fact that what they are doing is wrong to her.

2. She likes her routine and knowing what to expect, sometimes going to extremes to keep that routine.

Even when Candace is sick she still needs her “busting routine” and enlists her friend, Stacy, to help her with this. When Phineas and Ferb decide to have a “do nothing day,” Candace goes out of her way to try and make the boys build something, even going to the extent to build something herself instead. She even has a “panic room” that she goes to when overwhelmed with the unexpected.

3. She scripts conversations!

When she isn’t busy busting her brothers, she’s busting scripting conversations to have with Jeremy Johnson. Sometimes even talking to pictures of him taped to teddy bears or into bananas.

4. Grilled Cheese is her same food.

Candace loves her grilled cheese and everyone in her life knows that about her.

5. She has had a special interest in Ducky Momo for a long time.

She goes to conventions to engage in her special interest and has an impressive collection regarding it.

6. She stims… like a lot.

Here are just a few examples, there are a lot more.

8. She hyperfocuses (most often on busting), and is not able to focus on something else.

9. She has some very particular obsessions and rituals.

For example, Candace only plays instruments that start with the letter B. She also has to brush her hair 500 times in order to have a “perfect hair day.”

Viewing all phineas and ferb characters as autistic is so nice because you rarely see a range of personality types with autistic characters in the same show

Jew here with a friendly reminder that:

Criticizing Isreal ≠ antisemetic

Supporting Palestine ≠ antisemitic

Believing in the Free Palestine cause ≠ antisemitic

BUT ALSO

A random ass Jew just living their life oceans away has nothing to do with the Isreal-Palestine conflict

Palestinian Jews exist

Jews that support Palestine exist (I am one of them)

Calling out ACTUAL antisemitism ≠ supporting Isreal

i hate being disabled so much. i stood on the side walk across my house for half an hour because it was so hard to cross. i hate it so much i hate it so so so much

redfin pikerel (esox americanus americanus)

it made so much sense to me when gerard followed dan howell on twitter cause despite being 15 years older mf always looked the exact same as dan and phil in any photo with a fan circa 2014-2016

* Israel says all Palestinians must vacate northern Gaza within 24 hours

* Israel says significant military operations will take place in Gaza City in the coming days and residents must move south

this is ethnic cleansing in full view.

and make no mistake this is done so when a literal massacre takes place within 24 hours, these genocidal mfs will throw up their hands and say "we warned them"

I LOVE T4T I LOVE THE SAFETY I LOVE THE DEVIANCY I LOVE THE NO AWKWARD QUESTIONS I LOVE THE UNDERSTANDING I LOVE THE SEX I LOVE THE NO SEX I LOVE T4T

When disabled people say they cannot do something

Your response should not be to give them advice/solutions.

Your response should be to respect that "can't" and not ask them to do that thing again.

We've already tried everything, and we know more than you ever will.
