EDIT: Don't vote on this poll if you don't interact/lurk in this community somewhat regularly. This survey is for those people.
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?

Cis men are heavily outnumbering even binary trans women right now...I think this leaked onto all
Crackhappy@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y
Or you may have more allies than you think.

a lot of people are on this instance solely for 196 and/or because of v*ush
cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
What is vush
good_girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 2y
vaush is a problematic internet debate nerd that a lot of younger baby leftists latch on to.
He recommended this instance because 196 had a comm here iirc.His subreddit recommended it during the reddit/spez stuff.
196 also recommended blahaj.zone and they had a big vaush following in their userbase.
cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
Why is vaush problematic? I'm out of the loop
good_girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 10 pts · 2y
He's been known to have chaser-y tendencies, he's been casually misogynistic and racist for the sake of winning "debates", he's been known to defend lowering the age of consent as well as the production of CSAM(child sexual abuse material), and most recently he's been known to collect loli and zoophilic (not furry) hentai.
"problematic" was me being generous.
He's the main reason 196 is so sectarian/"anti-tankie" as he has a lot of fans that post there.
Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 2y
Wow and here am I thinking it's common sense to be anti tankie bc of 196
good_girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y
What'd you mean by this?
cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I'll definitely avoid that guy's channel.
ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 2y
He what?! When did that happen?
good_girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
I'll be honest I think I confused his subreddit with him.
https://www.reddit.com/r/VaushV/comments/14ny7py/horsefuck_okbv_had_reopened_however_we_reclosed/
The meme group made a com here (it has 331 subs but seems to be mostly dead at the moment)
196 also made a post with lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/196 mentioned
https://www.reddit.com/r/196/comments/146y2qw/r196_offsite_migration_discord_info/
Reddit 196 has(had?) a lot of vaushites in their userbase and so that carried over here.

Ally from all here. Surprised by all the CIS myself.
onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 12 pts · 2y
Haha. All the cis men.
I wonder what they would all choose a year from now 😘
scoobford@lemmy.zip · 26 pts · 2y
I questioned and came to the conclusion that I'm quite happy where I am.
My partner is nonbinary though, so I lurk in these sorts of spaces so I have at least a little bit of community awareness and understanding.
onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 11 pts · 2y
Well that makes me happy to know there are allies like you ❤️
HereIAm@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y
Eh, I just browse 'all'. Would I chose to be a woman if I had the chance at birth? Likely yes. But I quite like my ding-dong either way 😄
I am however quite jealous of women's fashion, the big scarfs, big wooly jumpers, and flowy textiles.
onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 13 pts · 2y
Oh boy.
Only thing I will say is many trans woman also have the same sentiment about their original bits.
Nothing but love ✌️
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 2y
Fwiw, the impression I get is that there are a goodly number of cis folks here, with the intent of being supportive and learning more. I know that's why I'm here. It makes me happy when I see people that have a difficulty in their lives find a path to their own happiness.
I may not like every trans person I've ever met, but I love trans people.
onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 2y
Totally agree and my comment was completely in jest ❤️
Honestly it's refreshing to see support. Especially on the Internet where there is so much hate for us...
So thanks for speaking up and letting us know you exist 🥰

That is so beautiful of you. Thank you for being such a great support for your boyfriend and the community as a whole :)

Voted as cis man, have questioned but still haven't really felt too out of place how I am. I did feel extremely distressed probably outside of how a normal person would react when I noticed I was getting male pattern baldness however
-Emma-@fedia.io · 1 pts · 2y
Does your emphasis of the word "male" imply that you are uncertain and still questioning? Just curious.
Owljfien@iusearchlinux.fyi · 2 pts · 2y
I didn't think I was until that happened and I think the visceral reaction has made me keep questioning a bit
onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 2y
Nothing wrong with questioning. Everybody goes through it to some extent. Most people think for a short amount of time and realize they are happy with who they are and how they perceive themselves.
Others take longer to come to the same conclusion or even to realize something else about themselves.
Just wanted to mention that if you're feeling any guilt or shame for questioning (I did in the beginning) please know that it's perfectly normal and there are tons of people who are there to support you ❤️
So try and enjoy your journey where ever you end up. It means you are growing and building a better understanding of yourself ❤️
Asidonhopo@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y
A minor point but you only have 3 of the 5 nonbinary options. AFAB she/theys and AMAB he/theys aren't represented in the options.
cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 2y
Sorry, didn't mean to exclude. It won't let me edit the survey now unfortunately.
essell@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
I'd pick "amab he/they" if it were there, very happy just to tick the "non-binary" button, don't feel excluded!
cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 11 pts · 2y
For a second there this community was 100% binary trans men, haha
Newtra@pawb.social · 8 pts · 2y
Btw, there's a deep annual survey at https://www.gendercensus.com . It's not specifically about this community, and excludes purely cis-binary people, but has interesting data & trends if you're into this sort of thing.
ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 2y
To clarify, that census specifically targets folk that aren't on the binary. Cis binary and trans binary folk aren't part of the target audience
Crackhappy@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
That's fantastic. When the new survey comes out please let us know.

Prediction: there will a higher percentage of genderfluid people because i misread some people's comments on the other one
Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
Give us a gender slider!

Binary Trans woman :)
-Emma-@fedia.io · 3 pts · 2y
Binary trans woman 💖️
thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y
nope.
cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
Weird. I remember allowing VPN voting.
thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y
maybe that’s why only the cis are voting - anyone remotely questioning of gender identity online daren’t browse without a VPN.
cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
Comment under my other comment and I'll add you to the final count
Cloaca@mtgzone.com · 4 pts · 2y
What about adding the poll temporarily to the community resources section?
That way it is not just in everyone's feed, and it takes a little more efforty to participate. I'm active here, but I found this community through cross instance bleedover.

Can't vote with a vpn sadly :(
