Eighth Annual Survey!!! (Don’t worry, fediverse is an option for where you got the link from ;)
Wondering if you can take it? From the source…
"Most people fit tidily into one of these categories:
Woman/girl - all the time, solely, and completely (may be cisgender or transgender)
Man/boy - all the time, solely, and completely (may be cisgender or transgender)
This survey intends to collect information about everyone who DOESN’T fit into this system. Anyone who doesn’t feel like they fit into one of these two boxes is invited to participate. There are no geographical restrictions.
If you hesitate or struggle to place yourself into just one of the two boxes, or if you know for sure that these boxes were not made for you, please do continue!"
Please spread it! They don’t do any advertising so it’s entirely word of mouth, and last year there were over 20,000 responses!
it is called “gender census” because it is a survey about identity in regards to gender. the survey identifies other forms of gender outside “man” or “woman” and the frequency of usage of certain terms. the purpose is to have actual data to point to about the way nonbinary indivduals indentify and how they prefer others to refer to them.
people who identify completely as men or women are excluded because they have nothing to do with the data being gathered. we already know that the majority of women in a group of 5,000 would use she/her/hers in english but how many genderqueer people in a group of 5,000 use she/her/hers? we know about certain sets of english pronouns but are there nonbinary people using terms that are uncommon? have terms that first showed up a few years ago now risen in usage?

no because that wouldn’t encompass the scope of the survey. it also asks about how one describes one’s own identity in english (ex. agender) and titles (like “Dr.” or “Mrs.”)
the author says they don’t call it a nonbinary survey because they want to be as inclusive as possible (so that they receive responses from anyone who qualifies instead of people thinking they don’t simply because they don’t identify as “nonbinary”)
fascinatingly, the author of the survey seems to deal with a lot of cis women objecting to the survey, because this is included in the FAQ (formatting is copied, not mine):
this goes back to why “gender survey” is a good name. there may be people who consider themselves “female” (for example) but don’t feel like a “woman” at all and instead think of themselves as totally genderless. they may never call themselves or think of themselves as transgender or nonbinary but as they do not experience gender as being “completely a woman”, they would qualify for the survey. i actually know more than one person irl to whom this applies.
