There it is. Knew there had to be one.

I didn’t know about this! It’s definitely interesting as a survey of queer folks, but given how few respondents were cis, definitely seems like the census is reaching a specific crowd.

The author says as much:

This all leads us to my never-ending problem: selection bias. The survey is 100% online, and spread entirely by word of mouth and social media shares.

So it certainly doesn’t mean that the survey doesn’t have value, but it would be interesting to see this survey with with a more generalized reach. But maybe my interest is rooted in my bias as a cis person. As is, still really cool to get some actual data on the overall trends for pronouns and self-labels and all that!

There are good people everywhere in the state, but there are some real bigots in the furthest places. Let’s not forget the COVID-19 protests at the governors mansion, or COVID-19 survey workers facing intimidation and racism.

This is why I’m Vote Blue No Matter who since 2016. I’m privileged to be white and cis and all that, and sometimes I am tempted to withhold my vote or vote third party because the Dems frequently piss me off with how they drop the ball. But I learned in 2016 how absolutely terrifying a Republican presidency can be for my trans and nonwhite friends, and that matters to me more than almost anything.

I love to hear it! The more trans people we collect, the better the state gets 🙌

Ugh that’s frustrating. Well thx for sharing your expertise on that!

Doesn’t it? Can you not transfer the documents with assigned gender, and then pursue records update in your new state?

Sorry to all the trans people in Alabama, this is horrific. Just a reminder, there’s a reason Alabama always ranks at the bottom of every state ranking list - it’s because the state govenrnment is a dysfunctional trainwreck made up of Republicans that ran on a platform of discrimination. They spend all their time defending discrimination rather than actually trying to serve their citizens.

If you want to escape your shithole state, Minnesota is a trans refuge state and we love our trans folks in the Twin Cities! There are certainly some Minnesotans in rural areas that would fit right in in Alabama, but you will never see them unless you go looking for them.

can someone ELI5 what this is, exactly? A program to run on your computer that helps out the Internet Archive? How exactly is it helpful for the Internet Archive?

Maintenance Phase, one of my favorite podcasts, just finished a pair of very enlightening episodes digging deep into this report and surrounding reports. Here’s a link to the first of those episodes, if you happen to be like me and enjoy learning via podcasts.
