crunched some numbers from the 2025 @gendercensus data for Finland. Identity words, pronouns (from checkboxes), and number of pronouns. This is 354 responses out of the 43,096 total, so it's uhhhhh. a pretty small set. I'm comparing percentage of finns to percentage of the whole set (finland included), but the results are hardly reliable w the sample sizes being so different LMAO

Still. I was interested in the identity words and pronouns here, because Finland is NOT an english speaking country, but most finns speak english well, and we are disproportionally represented on the internet, based on population. and in this census, also. Finnish pronouns are also gender neutral. So, it's neat to see how finns describe their gender in a second language.

Nonbinary is also the most popular choice for finns in this census.

A larger % of finnish participants described their gender as "questioning/unknown", "a person/just me", and "none" compared to the % for all the responses. (Could be a trait for finns in general, or related to participants not having a translated identity word.)

For pronouns, "They/them", "It/its" and "avoid pronouns" were chosen by a larger percentage of finns, compared to all the responses. She and he were less popular for finns, as well as most of the neopronouns. (harder to learn for a second language?) The equivalent of "it/its" is a common pronoun in casual spoken finnish :]

Finnish participants were slightly likelier to choose under 3 pronoun sets than all participants, similar to the graph shape of participants under and over 30 yrs old.

i did these pretty quick and didnt check too much so there could be mistakes. ok thats all byeee <3

Village shops are kinda rare to see nowdays

"One always ends up feeling ashamed" kuullostaa enemmän jonkun englantilaisen herrasmiehen kevyeltä filosofiselta pohdiskelulta, kun syvän synnyinhäpeän pinnan hipaisulta.

"One always gets to be ashamed" ?

"Can't help but always feel ashamed" ?

"Must I always feel ashamed?" ?

Made a shitty lil painting to quell
