#gc2022

Ah, I had forgotten that I had hidden that sheet on the big 2022 results spreadsheet, but actually it makes more sense to have it visible.

Here's the newly unhidden sheet showing how many people chose/entered how many pronoun sets. So we know from this that 30% of participants entered/chose only one pronoun set.

I'll just add a row now to that new table...

Okay, so, here's the sheet to look at. People choosing only that pronoun, for each pronoun:

They/them, 28% (so 28% of people choosing they/them chose only they/them)

He/him, 8.5%

She/her, 9.1%

It/it, 4.3%

E/em, 2.6%

Ey/em, 1.5%

Xe/xem, 2.6%

Ze/hir, 1.8%

Fae/faer, 2.5%

One neopronoun set only, 7.2%

Who? Everyone whose gender doesn’t tidily fit into the female/male binary.

What? An online survey asking participants how they describe themselves and how they would like other people to refer to them.

When? July to August 2022.

Participants: 39,765
