Hi everyone,

Just dropping by with a quick update - we're approaching 35,000 participants, there are two weeks to go, everything's basically going pretty well. Every now and again we get a boom year, and that was last year, because this year we're pretty much matching 2023 participation rates:

Graph. Day by day comparison of participation 2023-2025. Three lines. 2023 starts low and ends at about 40,000. 2024 climbs very steeply but has a similar curve and finishes with 48,000. The line for 2025 is shorter as the survey is only halfway through, and it's currently mostly following 2023 but it is maybe a smidge higher.

So I think it's quite likely that we'll end up with around 41,000 participants or so by the end, which is formidable!

At this stage, my main goal is trying to reach people who are outside the usual Tumblr-white-young-USA demographic. Tumblr has brought more responses to the survey than the next 5 sources combined (though this mailing list is very respectably in third place). The USA accounts for over half of participants, and participants over 30 are 23%, which is high for this survey but low for... everything else? 😅

This is where you come in. Your participation is the most important thing, but if you've already done that and you can help boost the signal, every share makes a huge difference. I know you know this but we don't pay for advertising, every year our tens of thousands of responses are from word-of-mouth alone.

So first of all, flinging the survey URL into formal and informal groups of LGBTQ+ themes is pretty great: https://survey.gendercensus.com

Second, forwarding this email is a pretty easy way to get it out there! Third, you can print some flyers and leave them in creative places. And finally, here are some sharing links for social media:

bluesky, facebook, instagram, threads, reddit, telegram, whatsapp, signal, discord, and the fediverse (mastodon etc)

I don't want to spam you all tooooo much, so this will be the last reminder of this year's survey being open. I'll send the next one when the report of the results is available to read.

For more information, see our website, gendercensus.com.

Thank you so much for your participation and support, everyone!
