#plus I think the second paragraph's link was from when the survey had 2k responses so its not even the 4.5k of now.

the survey stops counting age at 45 and most of the responses are from tumblr. theres people above 40 who use this site but this survey was not advertised specifically to people who still fall into the 30-45 age range, or older, as far as I can tell. the survey op states the survey will skew to a younger demographic (link).
genuinely cant find any posts from their blog compiling what % of people found the survey through what site/source.
to reiterate biknuckles' point its incredibly shitty to state "the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people"
when there are still people in other groups who do not prefer its use and their numbers are not included in this paragraph, painting everyone who doesn't prefer it as a bigot.
I'm also not finding posts on if they compiled the answers to "Regarding the term "queer" specifically, do you consider it to be an acceptable umbrella term?", in which the answers were "yes", "yes but only for people who specifically identify as queer, not for the community as a whole", "no", and "null". only posts regarding "x amount found the term as an acceptable umbrella term".
Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).
Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).
Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% / 8.1% of the time respectively while being included 78.9% / 81.2% of the time (x)
Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.
#sorry to reblog this like 2 yr old reply but its SO disingenuous to say ''this study represents the lgbt community'' or anything along those#lines when most of the responses are from tumblr and the conductor of the survey is making statements like the ones linked.#like people can say 'I dont like the q slur because it upsets me but I support other people who use it' and theyre still called terfs#and exclusionists (a term that is incredibly vague unless whats being excluded is specified) and radfems or whatever.#also obligatory disclaimer: I dont want to be called the q slur but I support people who identify with it. I dont have issues with that.#plus I think the second paragraph's link was from when the survey had 2k responses so its not even the 4.5k of now.#I think one of the biggest things is that often I see people who state 'its not a slur anymore' or 'its not used as a slur anymore' when#thats just. untrue. it was used in my hometown and to this day. Im a young person who is in their 20s but my age makes people disregard my#opinion as 'one of the baby gays poisoned by TERF rhetoric'. it sucks man.#also Ill be honest this tumblr blog sucks ass to find any information on the survey in a coherent way. I struggled to find information#I wanted and gave up eventually because it was too disordered. this is a personal opinion but the lack of a coherent way to find info sucks
