Hey folks, the results are in and the vast majority of active Hexbear users say they are not cishet!
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
Let me know if I’m off the mark about any of this, but my guess is that we’d see a significant bump in cis women if the polling were anonymous. Things are getting lot better now as the internet becomes increasingly diverse, but early on it was dominated by white, cishet techbros who suddenly found themselves with their own anonymous soapbox with endless reach.
Cis women learn from an early age that outing their gender on the internet results in creeps crawling out of the woodwork to harass them, so they don’t do it. Transwomen face the same misogyny, but are far more comfortable on the internet owing to their experience of using it before hatching.
Male socialization mentioned!!! Let’s goooooo
AMAB AMAB AFAB ARAB ACAB
Sorry, I’m really stoned and was just spitballing there. Is what I said reactionary or adjacent to the way reactionaries use the term male socialization?
No not really, sorry I just have tgcj syndrome
What is tgcj syndrome ? I googled but am getting uninterpretable reddit bigotry
Transgendercirclejerk. I’m assuming the subreddit.
Ohhhhh ok yeah I’m a dumbass. That subreddit kept coming up with just the acronym in the title but I did not put 2 and 2 together.
Classic stormfromt bullshit then
Tgcj is basically deep fried irony beyond the level of this site even. Everyone posting there is trans
Damn I did not catch that. Ok well another visit then
In case you didn’t catch it, /r/transgendercirclejerk is of by and for trans people.
Oh shit, I only looked at 1 post and I guess I missed that it was satire. My B. Or I’m now misinterpreting you message but I dont think it’s that…

That’s also true, mentioned it in the original survey.
