Multigender Survey Results Dec 2023: Genders (part 1)

Multigender versus questioning

The first question asked participants to indicate whether they were multigender or were questioning (single selection). 594 participants (80.1%) identified as multigender, while 148 (19.%) were questioning whether they identified as multigender. 

Categories

Participants were asked to select which of the following best described the extent to which they identified as a woman, a girl, and/or female (single selection). The options provided were:

I am fully a woman, a girl, and/or female: 196 (26.4%)

I am partially a woman, a girl, and/or female: 417 (56.1%)

I am not a woman, a girl, or female in any capacity: 130 (17.5%)

613 (82.5%) identified as a woman, a girl, and/or female to some extent, whether fully or partially. 

Participants were also asked to select which of the following best described the extent to which they identified as a man, a boy, and/or male (single selection). The options provided were:

I am fully a man, a boy, and/or male: 297 (40.0%)

I am partially a man, a boy, and/or male: 393 (52.9%)

I am not a man, a boy, or male in any capacity: 53 (7.1%)

690 (92.9%) identified as a man, a boy, and or/male to some extent, whether fully or partially. 

The combination of answers to those two questions were used to sort participants into the following nine categories. 

Fully a man, a boy, and/or male + fully a woman, a girl, and/or female: 151 (20.3%)

Partially a man, a boy, and/or male + fully a woman, a girl, and/or female: 40 (5.4%)

Not at all a man, a boy, or male + fully a woman, a girl, and/or female: 5 (0.7%)

Fully a man, a boy, and/or male + partially a woman, a girl, and/or female: 103 (13.9%)

Partially a man, a boy, and/or male + partially a woman, a girl, and/or female: 288 (38.8%)

Not at all a man, a boy, or male + partially a woman, a girl, and/or female: 26 (3.5%)

Fully a man, a boy, and/or male + not at all a woman, a girl, or female: 43 (5.8%)

Partially a man, a boy, and/or male + not at all a woman, a girl, or female: 65 (8.7%)

Not a man, a boy, and/or male + not at all a woman, a girl, or female: 22 (3.0%)

Number of binary genders (man/boy/male and woman/girl/female) participants fully identified as:

Fully identified as two binary genders: 151 (20.3%)

Fully identified as one binary gender: 191 (25.7%)

Did not fully identify as any binary gender: 401 (54.0%)

Number of binary genders (man/boy/male and woman/girl/female) participants identified as to some extent, whether fully or partially:

Identified as two binary genders to some extent: 582 (78.3%)

Identified as one binary gender to some extent: 139 (18.7%)

Did not identify as any binary gender to any extent: 22 (3.0%)

Labels

Participants were asked “What are the genders you identify with? Select all that apply, whether always or sometimes” (multiple selection). The options provided were: 

Agender: 268 (36.1%)

Butch: 223 (30.0%)

Demigirl: 142 (19.1%)

Demiboy: 174 (23.4%)

Femme: 202 (27.2%)

Genderqueer: 500 (67.3%)

Man/boy/male: 470 (63.3%)

Manwoman/boygirl/male+female: 398 (53.6%)

Masc: 351 (47.2%)

Maverique: 72 (9.7%)

Neutrois: 69 (9.3%) (nice_

Nonbinary: 464 (62.3%)

Woman/girl/female: 399 (53.7%)

Xenogender: 248 (33.4%)

Questioning: 110 (14.8%)

Unlabeled: 129 (17.4%)

Categories vs Labels

In the previous survey, categories were formed based on answers to the question “What are the genders you identify with?” This turns out to have been an inaccurate way to categorize participants, as the categories participants self-identified with often didn’t match the way they would have been categorized based on the genders they identified with. 

Of 196 participants who identified as fully a woman, a girl, and/or female, 166 selected “woman/girl/female” as one of the genders they identified with (84.7%). Of 297 participants who identified as fully a man, a boy, and/or male, 259 selected “man/boy/male” as one of the genders they identified with (87.2%).

Additionally, the previous survey did not include “manwoman/boygirl/male+female” as a gender option, under the assumption that people who identified that way would select both “man/boy/male” and “woman/girl/female.” However, of the 398 participants who selected “manwoman/boygirl/male+female,” 210 selected both “man/boy/male” and “woman/girl/female” (52.8%). 142 participants who selected “manwoman/boygirl/male+female” did not select “woman/girl/female” (35.7%), and 117 participants who selected “manwoman/boygirl/male+female” did not select “man/boy/male” (29.4%).

Abinary Genders

Participants were asked “do you experience abinary gender(s)?” (single selection), with abinary defined as “genders that are completely unrelated to the male/female binary.” The options provided were:

No, I don’t experience any abinary genders: 143 (19.2%)

Yes, I experience one abinary gender: 144 (19.4%)

Yes, I experience multiple abinary genders: 285 (38.4%)

Questioning: 171 (23.0%)

429 participants (75.7%) experienced one or more abinary gender(s). 

Of the 151 participants who identified as fully a man, a boy, and/or male as well as fully a woman, a girl, and/or female, 19 (12.6%) experienced one abinary gender and 62 (41.1%) experienced multiple abinary genders. 81 (53.6%) experienced one or more abinary gender(s) and 49 (32.5%) did not experience any abinary genders. That is to say, for a majority of participants who identified as fully a man/a boy/male and fully a woman/a girl/female, they identified as other gender(s) in addition to those two.

I'm sure it's been discussed at length already but I think it's easy to assume saiyans are strong so their genes are dominant but I (like to) think it's the opposite. It's interesting to think that the ecological nature of a saiyan is stealthy and invasive, and according to Jaco a saiyan invasion was going to be extra dangerous to earth because they look like earthlings (and a lot of other human-like races in the db universe) and one baby saiyan will easily go completely undetected until it starts the extermination process.

so it actually makes a lot of sense to me that a saiyan hybrid would take more physical traits from a local species, while maintaining the potential to house a saiyan's strength and inborn power over ki (which I think due to the story following a group of people who use it is a thing we often forgotten is a super rare and dangerous ability in that universe, and inborn/instinctive to a select few very powerful races). Could also be a fun way to explain why their tails can detach and grow back, since that may be the only real Tell.

because like yeah gohan and goten look like goku but they also look like chichi ykwim? trunks and bulla look like bulma. pan looks like videl. thoughts i chew on.

I also just find parasitism a real good meaty horror concept to put in my little 'this is why everyone's afraid of saiyans' headcanon file along with 'can see in the dark, biologically strategic energy consumption, can go long periods without food or rest' and of course the canonical 'surprise monkey werewolf kaiju'

TESblr i have an inquiry on the position of silt striders in the predator-prey hierarchy, along with what exactly they could potentially eat (answers i got was the large fungi in Morrowind, trees, the occasional bird), considering animals like nix-ox have actual sharp teeth, i wondered if it was a similar situation w Silt Striders- but then i thought they’re too tall to really.. hunt for meat.

Reading the Sabbat: The Black Hand v5 book, and it is apparently impossible for me not to see the Sabbat through a Queering Vampirism lense with some of the ways they're describing it. It's very obviously not what they're Trying to do, but that's the impression I'm getting anyway.

Like they start by saying the Purpose of the Sabbat is fundamentally to challenge the status quo, right before calling them fundamentally evil/monstrous antagonists and right after describing how scared all the other kindred are of them and how inscrutible they find their motivations. And then they go right into talking about the philosophy of embracing the Beast and fundamentally Cainite traits and inhumanity/monstrosity (what they are and what seperates them from the rest of society, the Other, which in this reading is also Queerness), to the horror of everyone else, and it's considered fundamentally an aspect of self destruction (see: how people act about trans surgeries). Also, treating something otherwise extremely taboo (ex. diablerie) as a "sacrament", like treating what is normally taboo/reviled as divine isn't also incredibly queer. Also alienation from society and difficulty forming connections.

You couldn't create a queer allegory more like catnip to me if you tried, is what I'm saying

think there's a typo in ch1 on AO3:

"Are you shopping for something specific?" Soos asked with his best customer service voice. "Post cards? Snow globes? Weird taxidermy thingamajigs? Pants?"

"Oh, Mr. Pines! The original Mr. Mystery! Heh—he actually retired a few months ago. The Mystery Shack's under new management!" Soos planted his fists on his hips and puffed up his chest. "It's me, I'm the new management."

Think there should be another line between these?

Anonymous asked: i think there's a line missing in the very start of the ao3 mirror, right before "the original mr mystery" bit

Thank you both for saving my ass 🙏

Hydro Man of Mega Man Ultimate fame is sporting a brand new look— and with it, a completely redrawn stage select portrait!

Initially, this wasn't going to be anything more than concept art drawn from the bust-up, though I'm so proud of what I managed to draw that I think it's time this blog sees some more Mega Man Ultimate content! 💙🏳️‍⚧️✨

whenever i see someone online talking about the "women slave away in the kitchen; men laze around and watch football" dynamic at their thanksgiving, i'm always lowkey curious about what exactly ages/region/etc are involved

because, while that accurately describes the thanksgivings in the family i grew up in, i don't think i've experienced that at any thanksgiving since i was like... 18 years old lol
