Hi everyone,
I made a survey to better gauge the demographics of this community. I don't have any reason to, just doing it out of curiosity.
I'm glad that everyone felt free to talk about it in detail and have some good discussion on my previous post, but it made it hard to count all those comments up. Someone suggested that I do this to get more accurate results.
The poll ends on April 6th at 11pm. I'll post the results when it's over. You can also view the live results of the poll on the website.
Might make a future one for sexuality. Data is fun, what can I say.
I noticed the same thing from the original pie chart OP posted. Turns out there is research supporting the hypothesis that there are less people identifying as binary trans male overall.
Still really interested to see what the results of this poll will be, keeping in mind that the numbers may be influenced by non-subscribers and users from across the fediverse.
Edit: whoops, corrected "transmasculine" to "binary trans male" to avoid confusion.
Fwiw, the impression I get is that there are a goodly number of cis folks here, with the intent of being supportive and learning more. I know that's why I'm here. It makes me happy when I see people that have a difficulty in their lives find a path to their own happiness.
I may not like every trans person I've ever met, but I love trans people.
I like to keep aware of trans issues, discourse and general stuff so I can be more supportive of my boyfriend. Also if I see someone struggling with something he conquered, I'd love to be able to pass on anything that can help.
I love him dearly and I kinda see me trying to keep aware of trans stuff in my social media circles similar to him keeping aware of Jewish stuff in his social media circles.
Voted as cis man, have questioned but still haven't really felt too out of place how I am. I did feel extremely distressed probably outside of how a normal person would react when I noticed I was getting male pattern baldness however
Btw, there's a deep annual survey at https://www.gendercensus.com . It's not specifically about this community, and excludes purely cis-binary people, but has interesting data & trends if you're into this sort of thing.
Yeah I was surprised too but being a cis man doesn't preclude them from being gay or pan or whatever. I prefer to think of people as default allies until they prove themselves otherwise.
Further, I don't think it's a problem for cis het men to be here if it's from a learning/allyship perspective.
What about adding the poll temporarily to the community resources section?
That way it is not just in everyone's feed, and it takes a little more efforty to participate. I'm active here, but I found this community through cross instance bleedover.
