DUMBASS DUO SHOWDOWN ROUND 1 BATTLE 32

actually i think its horrendous how the word delusional has been co-opted & watered down (especially to the term "delulu") by ableminded & sane people to mean "thinking your crush likes you back!!!!!!" when actual delusional psychotic & schizophrenic people are treated like absolute shit and are constantly being thrown under the bus even in mental health communities and people act like we just killed their entire family in front of them when we even mention our mental state.

respectability politics DO NOT WORK on a large scale. if every single transexual were to be gender conforming, straight, quiet, never ask for more than the bare minimum, conservatives, maybe they wouldnt hate us. but. if transexuals don’t have the right to be nonconforming and weird then we aren’t free, we’re suffocating ourselves in the name of protection.

goes outside holding hands with my girlfriend and cishet people give me the homophobia stare so i look at them and say "actually im a straight trans guy so i don't experience oppression for being straight" and they go "oh my bad. i, a homophobic person, am definitely not transphobic and view you as male now. carry on"

Me in every situation ever:

The 2024 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th June 2024.

It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.

Thank you so much!
