Thing of Things Survey Results

Facts!

About a month ago, I surveyed my readers! Here are my results:

Demographics

42.8% cis male
23.9% cis female
3.7% trans male
12.1% trans female
9.2% nonbinary (AFAB)
8.3% nonbinary (AMAB)

I’m confused by why the ratios for “trans male : trans female” and “afab nonbinary : amab nonbinary” are so different! Otherwise more-or-less like I expected. 66.7% of my readers are cis, which is a very nice number.

Of transgender readers:
43.4% have biomedically transitioned in some way
12.4% have not biomedically transitioned but want to
24% are undecided whether they want to biomedically transition
20.2% don’t want to biomedically transition

My guess is that a lot of my readers are relatively new to being trans. Could be wrong! Have some of you been trans for a decade and still haven’t made up your minds?

48.6% primarily sexually attracted to people of a different gender than oneself
19.5% primarily sexually attracted to people of the same gender as oneself
27% sexually attracted about equally to people of the same and different gender as oneself
4.9% not sexually attracted to anyone

Muahahahahahaha queer dominance.

16% live in California
84% do not live in California

I included this item because people keep saying all my readers live in California. They don’t! Only 16% of them live in California.

Countries of residence:

1. United States of America (seven times as common as the U.K.)

2. United Kingdom

3. Canada

4. Australia

5. Germany

6. A long tail of smaller countries

Why so many Germans?

Fun answers to this question:

• “Nomad”

• “India (unwillingly)”

• “Texas” (possible secessionist?)

Political affiliation: 1.83 (1 is very liberal, 5 is very conservative)

59.9% rationalists
40.1% not rationalists

57.8% effective altruists
42.2% not effective altruists

What? I really need to get more persuasive here.

78% feminists
22% not feminists
