Hi everyone,
I made a survey to better gauge the demographics of this community. I don’t have any reason to, just doing it out of curiosity.
I’m glad that everyone felt free to talk about it in detail and have some good discussion on my previous post, but it made it hard to count all those comments up. Someone suggested that I do this to get more accurate results.
The poll ends on April 6th at 11pm. I’ll post the results when it’s over. You can also view the live results of the poll on the website.
Might make a future one for sexuality. Data is fun, what can I say.
What are your predictions for this poll?
I noticed the same thing from the original pie chart OP posted. Turns out there is research supporting the hypothesis that there are less people identifying as binary trans male overall.
Still really interested to see what the results of this poll will be, keeping in mind that the numbers may be influenced by non-subscribers and users from across the fediverse.
Edit: whoops, corrected “transmasculine” to “binary trans male” to avoid confusion.
No, that’s not quite right. The source I posted just showed binary trans men as lower. Transmasculine nonbinary was a lot higher.
I was under the impression that there were significantly more transmen than women worldwide.
I seem to know more transmasculine people and trans men than transfeminine people and trans women IRL, but online, in my experience, there’s always been way more trans women and transfeminine people than trans men and transmasculine people. AMABs regardless of gender or identity have always had the biggest hold on the Internet in my experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seems like a definitive answer requires more research with higher sample size.
I’ve also noticed a difference in online exposure, and the difference in subscriber counts between FtM and MtF communities on Blåhaj Lemmy also suggest it’s real thing.
But there’s also the possibility that people don’t want to identify with the “trans” label. Since modern models of gender identity require it to be treated as a high-dimensional vector, the spectrum representation probably doesn’t cut it for a larger amount of people than we might be aware of.
