The annual Gender Census report is now out for 2025.
There were over 43,000 responses from people whose genders (or lack thereof) are not described by the M/F gender binary. The report details our preferences for identity words, titles, pronouns, and some family words.

People who use screenreaders, I have a question about graphs as images in the Gender Census report.
Would you rather the alt text/image description was:
1) A very brief description such as "bar graph", and a link in the caption (under the image) to the Google Sheet containing the actual data and the graph
2) The numerical data as alt text, e.g. "nonbinary, 30%, 594. genderqueer, 25%, 456. etc."
3) Either of the above is fine
4) Something else that I have not anticipated!

So there's a new title on the nonbinary circuit: Mg.
The original Tumblr member who posted it said:
'since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"'
A question for #nonbinary people:
Hypothetically assuming the go-to nonbinary title is Mg, how would you want it to be said out loud in front of your name? ("Mg FirstName LastName")

We're at 39,000 participants, there's one week left, and I'm running out of ways to describe the target sample of the survey!
Does YOUR gender [insert complex yet light-hearted metaphor here]? Then this survey needs YOU! 🫵 It takes 5-6 minutes, doesn't ask any intrusive questions, and will cause some good nerdy graphs!

Are there any trans-focused organisations or news accounts here on the Fediverse that you think I might like to follow?
Boosts are really helpful, as this account is a single-user instance now so there are no connections aside from people I already follow and people who already follow me!
