Gender Shit - Tumblr Posts
I get the same feeling from stress, dysphoria, touching terracotta, and seeing people put their dirty shoes on furniture
This seems atypical
Man, my voice sucks communicating through text is far superior
I've not heard a recording of it and the skull shenanigans make your voice sound different to you so I can't know for sure but still
An acquaintance said it reminded them of Cecil, from Welcome To Night Vale. Which is all well and good, except that I'm a enby leaning more towards feminine so that made me want to never talk again for a few minutes
tldr; I like the typed word (written word is the typical term, but writing too long causes pain and my handwriting is abysmal)
Oooh, big mood
i need to look like a man so i can dress like a woman
Ooh, fun!
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!

EXACTLY!!
I know SEVERAL afab nonbinary people who, as soon as they came out as nonbinary - immediately began dressing in ridiculous hyper-femme outfits they never would have worn before. A lot of people see this and say shit like “Theyfab” or say they are only nonbinary for attention. After all, look how femme they are.
But to me, this makes perfect sense. When you are forced into the category of “woman” against your will, femininity is a chore. It’s a job that you have. As soon as you say no, I’m not a woman, suddenly femininity isn’t your job anymore. It’s not a requirement. It’s just a fun hobby you can get into. Or a little treat sometimes.
