Even in Plural centric surveys \[actual academic ones!

I’ve helped with surveys for sociology studies for non singlet individuals at the academic level, you are handling it absolutely professionally. Could there be better systems? Probably, but to the best of our ability you are doing a professional job \[especially with your wording asking for “one response per body” and not “per person” or “per person or System” which are exclusive of multiple system bodies and singles out plural folks\]](https://gendercensus.tumblr.com/post/824848457844080640) _2026-08-13 · Gender Census_ I am very sorry other plural folks are coming after you and I don't understand the hostility.

(And I did too, for awhile! This wasn’t something I understood until recently, and I’ve been following this for years.) As I understand it, the survey is specifically about trends in the \*language used\* by a group of people historically unincluded/unconsidered by language. There is not established vocabulary for our identities and experiences so we have to make it ourselves, and this survey is trying to aggregate and analyze how we do that. It’s not about what our identities or experiences of gender \*are\*, it’s about how we talk about them.

It is isolating and depressing that so many intricate gender experiences are completely barred from being shared accurately. I do not like having to pretend I am just one multigender person that happens to use multiple sets of pronouns, instead of multiple people who have their own unique relationships to gender, labels and pronouns. i am not the only one whos part of a system & wishes the gender census actually included us instead of explicitly saying we should mask or implicitly saying we shouldnt participate. as it currently stands, lack of plural inclusion also messes with your data, as it generally “generates” more multigender people using multiple different terms. it muddies the water of actual multigender people and the terms they use for themselves. please, please do include us next year. aplogies of any of this is too direct/stern or rambly, im sure you understand that constant suppression of ones identity will upset those affected. 🥲](https://gendercensus.tumblr.com/post/824786924613042176) _2026-08-12 · Gender Census_ This is one for the FAQs, I think?
