"Patreon are going to force me off the β€œper creation” funding model in November, and I am undecided about how I’m going to handle that."

I am pleased to inform you that we've had a reprieve!

The 2025 Gender Census is now closed!

There are 43,105 responses right now, though some may be removed if they're obvious abusive/troll entries that I haven't spotted yet.

I'm afraid I don't have much information about when the results will be up, but I'll keep you posted.

Thank you so much! :)

Mirror pronouns are a method of choosing pronouns, not pronouns in themselves, and so there is no question in the survey that covers it. If you would genuinely mirror any pronoun, you can choose "any pronouns" in the checkboxes. :)

Just quickly dropping in to mention that I have an online shop, which has trans-themed zines, LGBTQ+ handwarmers, and the beginnings of a range of pride flag fidgets:

Graph showing participation in 2023, 2024 and 2025. All lines rise sharply at the beginning and then the slope flattens a bit more after the first week and towards the end. The 2023 line ends at about 40,000. the 2024 line is much higher, ending at 48,000. 2025 is almost but not quite complete, and the line is a little higher than 2023 but a lot lower than 2024.

There are only 2 days left to do this year's Gender Census survey:

survey.gendercensus.com

If your gender is neither here nor there, give it a look. It takes most people 5-6 minutes and isn't intrusive. There have now been over 42,000 responses!

Gender Census 2025 Please take the time to complete our survey. Your feedback is important.

The longest anyone has taken to complete the survey so far is 31,678 minutes (about 22 days) but it's not my fault. Some people are just extremely thoughtful, okay.

If you too are Extremely Thoughtful about your gender, check if you are the target audience for our survey: survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
