Hey folks, the results are in and the vast majority of active Hexbear users say they are not cishet! hexbear-pride

This survey had the same limitations of our previous transgender survey. This means we do not have the tech to make this survey more accurate through other means (more questions, more options, negative/positive answering, anonymous answering, etc). However, we do have a good sampling of the active userbase (about 1/3rd of daily active users answered) and combined with the transgender poll, we can conclude that Hexbear is an overwhelmingly queer instance that is proud of stating its queerness publicly.

You can see the graphs of the previous transgender survey here:

You can find the raw (public) data of the survey here. Feel free to audit my numbers and make sure I didn’t hallucinate anything!

The total tally was

Yes = 114 
No = 195 
Unsure = 30 
Total = 339

A number of people did not follow instructions properly, and I put them into the category that made sense based on the information they provided.

A number of people used the dean-malice emote which was not in the set of emojis I provided for responses. Most were merged into yes, unless they stated they were queer otherwise.

This survey is a little less complex than the last one, I kept it short and sweet and did not tally the pronouns.

Both surveys were done over three days and were pinned on the front page.

P.S. Thanks @ComradeEd@lemmygrad.ml for helping make this a bit quicker with your code here.

I hope you all have as much fun with this information as I did and I hope you all have a great Pride Month cat-trans

    I am a binary trans guy but I dislike gendered pronouns as a concept. I also dislike “they” as a gender-neutral pronoun(no offense to people who use it, I don’t like using it) so I use the other gender neutral pronoun. It also just goes kinda hard.

      Putting things in gendered boxes wears on me to the extent I want to go by it/they/them. I’ll go by “she/her” sometimes but it’s to embrace the underdog role I have in this patriarchy.

      How do you handle it someone calls you “it” in a mean way?

        I have been insulted and dehumanized for being trans but never specifically by getting called it, which might be why I am more willing to use it.

        If I was called it as an insult I don’t think I would understand unless they pointed out their intent, in which case I’d probably try to leave.
