[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

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!

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.

Thank you so much!

PS: You can see some regularly-updated statistics about incoming data here, with lots of demography and graphs to peruse!

Tim first stalks Superboy because he’s a new kryptonian, and he might be a danger. He’s not hard to find, seeing as he’s basically famous already due to Lex.

The vigilante gathers information and even goes to metropolis for some photos sometimes.

Before he clicks the photo, Superboy looks straight at the camera.

And Superboy appears in front of him.

Tim jumps back, hand hovering over his belt, and narrows his eyes. He knew Superboy would be good, but not that good.

The meta tilts his head, a smirk forming on his face.

“You could’ve just asked for a photo, you know?”

Tim sighs internally. Of course he would flirt. He keeps up a different attitude on the outside, though. He goes for sort-of-shy-but-not-afraid.

“Guess I wanted to ‘get to know you better’ first.” Tim gives a small smile. Wow, he sounds like a stalker.

“Oh?” Superboy looks intrigued. That’s not good. “What’s your name, roaming bird?”

Tim tries to not look down at his costume. He does not look like a bird, thank you very much.

“Robin. You’ll see me around, I’m sure.” It was time to wrap this up. With a wink, he whipped out his grapple and went up on the nearest rooftop.

He did his disappearing act, surprising the other. Tim waited a couple minutes to make sure Superboy wasn’t following or finding him before heading back to Gotham on his bike.

He thought nothing of this interaction.

From then on, Tim feels like he’s being watched. He knows he’s not being paranoid, either. He constantly feels a pair of eyes whenever he’s at patrol. When he looks back, he sees nothing.

Then comes the photos. In his room, one random day, there is a pile of photos on his desk. There are various photos of him as Robin.

Tim is caught off guard.

He doesn’t have any leads. He doesn’t have suspects. It’s just. There. No fingerprints on the photos, no clue in the photos either because the angles are so inconsistent. It’s like the stalker is everywhere.

Because he can’t get any information, he reluctantly leaves it. He looks back into Superboy though, partly because he wants to escape Gotham for a while, and partly because he’s curious about the new super.

He goes back into Metropolis, to look for him. After roaming around the rooftops for awhile, there’s a sudden breeze and Superboy is right in front of him. 

Superboy smiles.

“Did you like the photos I gave you?”

Tim freezes.

“What?”

“The photos. The one I gave you. At your desk, you couldn’t have missed it.”

And everything clicks into place. The slightly messy photos because of inexperience, the random angles taken from Superboy flying around.

Tim squints behind his domino mask.

“So you sent me them. Why?”

“To ‘get to know you better’.” Superboy’s smile never falters. “Do you think I did well?”

Tim puts two and two together. Because the clone is relatively new, he basically had no social cues. So he stalked Tim. And thought it was relatively normal.

“Why did you stalk me?” Tim asked, ignoring Superboy’s question.

There’s no hesitation. “Because you stalked me.”

Tim is perplexed. Superboy continues talking.

“I heard some people like to know people better before pursuing them. You stalked me, and I was interested, so I stalked back.”

It takes every muscle in his body to stop himself from face palming. Of course Superboy thought he had a crush on him. Of course.

“So, you’re interested?” Robin asks.

“Yes. Are you?”

Tim mulls it over. Honestly, this is kind of hot. Stalking has always been Tim’s forte, and someone else stalking him for romantic intentions are.. intriguing.

He smiles. “I am.”

“there’s a restaurant two miles from my house called—” nope

“today I learned [celeb] went to my high school—” nope nope nope nope nope

these are all real posts I’ve seen on the internet that allowed me to identify a user’s hometown instantly. if it’s a small town, that’s doubly dangerous, because a bad actor could trace you just by a unique first name or selfie you once posted. in an age where doxxing and stalking are some of the worst I’ve ever seen it, you HAVE to think twice about what you’re posting online.

i once saw a 13-year old post an image they noted as being “a few miles from their house.” it had a theater in the shot with a unique enough name to be local. one google maps search, now everyone knew not only what city they lived in, but the possible neighborhoods in that radius too. and they had a HUGE following…who all knew this was a 13-year-old child.

so yeah. not to sound like a 90s internet safety PSA…but I’m gonna be that PSA for a minute.

if you’re posting an image, there is NO need to say that you live there. you could just be traveling. “saw this in Montana” is better than “saw this by my house!”

before you post about a venue, especially a restaurant or small store, check and see if it’s local—CRUCIALLY if it has only one or two locations. people might travel to arenas or convention centers, but they’re far less likely to be traveling to Bartleby’s Fish and Chips. if it’s an anecdote and you still live nearby, you can honestly just leave the name out entirely.

if you’re sharing a news story, it can just be a story you found and wanted to share. you don’t have to clarify “it happened in my town,” because even if you don’t mention your town name, an easily-googled news article will.

if you’re seeing a concert or meeting a celebrity on a tour that’s stopped locally, wait until they’ve hit a few more venues before you post about it, or at the very least wait until you get home. this is honestly a smart move for any event you attend: unless you’re marketing yourself, there’s no need to advertise your location in real time.

check your selfie backgrounds for anything identifying. this includes city names on venues, school names, street signs, and house numbers.

this stuff is flexible if you no longer live in your hometown, or if your city is particularly big, but there’s STILL no reason to tie yourself to your school, your workplace, or your street. you can call it paranoid, but as someone who’s seen my friends get literal death threats over fictional characters before, the last thing I want is someone willing to act on those threats finding out where they live.

Also a reminder that sometimes when taking pictures/selfies, the time, place, and location can be linked to the file of it, so if you want to be safer you could take a screenshot of the picture in your photos app or otherwise find a way to make sure that information isn’t being shared when you post your photos online.

I would also recommend avoiding pictures on your property or in your neighborhood area in general, I have seen too many videos of a guy showing his “cool trick” where he could find exact coordinates on Google Maps just by a picture someone took of a tree or other seemingly insignificant landmarks.

It is now later, so here.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, i should also add, there was a trend going around recently where you showed your school logo as part of it, and its genuinely so dangerous. It is quite literally advertising not only your age but where and when to find you.

Please, do not tell people where you go to school.

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
