Tumblr KOTLC Fandom- Pronoun Demographics

From the survey @an-ungraeceful-swan and I made, here are the results of the question asking "What pronouns do you use?" Participants each wrote in an answer. There were 94 responses.

Hypothesis: There will be more xe/xem users than he/him users

(note: 19 people used all pronouns, so 19 was added to the number of pronouns explicitly specified for each pronoun set)

(another note: all decimals are rounded to the tenths place)

In order of most commonly used pronouns, we have

they/them, at 61 total users (~64.9%)

she/her, at 58 total users (~61.7%)

he/him, at 37 total users (~39.4%)

xe/xem, at 31 total users (~33.0%)

ae/aer, at 30 total users (~31.9%)

fae/faer, at 27 total users (~28.7%)

it/its, at 26 total users (~27.7%)

ey/em, at 21 total users (~22.3%)

ze/hir, at 21 total users (~22.3%)

voi/void, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

cat/cats, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

sea/sear, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

lea/leaf, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

ve/ver, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

disc/discs, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

sil/ver, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

sol/sols, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

star/stars, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

hx/hxm, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

ar/son, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

cy/cyr, at 20 total users (~21.3%)

The data does not support the hypothesis. However, the data does not automatically reject the hypothesis.

Since he/him and xe/xem are the only proportions necessary for this hypothesis, confidence intervals have only been constructed for the two of them. I am 95% confident that the true proportion of he/him users in the KOTLC tumblr fandom is between 29.3% and 49.4%. I am also 95% confident that the true proportion of xe/xem users in the KOTLC tumblr fandom is between 23.3% and 42.7%.

Because of the overlap, there is no significant evidence that either set of pronouns has more users within the KOTLC tumblr fandom.
