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

just like with the last survey, i'm really fucking happy for how things are split up

being in the minority as a cis dude is very reassuring about what kind of space hexbear is

this is really cool and it's great to be part of a community that embraces our trans comrades, or should i say a community of trans comrades that embraces its cis minority.

am i reading the results correctly that very few cis women responded to the survey/are present on hexbear? "No votes by pronoun" has a dark grey sliver which i assume would be "she/her", implying cis women?

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

There aren't many cis women, yeah. I go over their rough numbers here. Basically, per week we should be getting around 40-50 cis women, based on the trans survey's numbers. Hopefully, lemmy will let us do more complex polling and surveys in the future.

It's so interesting seeing how there's almost no cis women in online left spaces but irl, they seem to be the plurality (at least amongst the younger crowd (aka same age demographic as online) for sure they are)

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 42 points 3 weeks ago

there's almost no cis women in online left spaces

I think that's just Reddit derived sites. Almost all Tumblr leftists I've seen are cis women and a fair chunk of Twitter leftists are as well (I don't know because I'm not a part of that digital hell)

[-] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 27 points 3 weeks ago

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.

I put unsure, which is true, though I’m AFAB and cis presenting. A lot of online spaces (whether leftist or otherwise) are just hard to interact with when you’ve grown up conditioned to femininity. At least on Twitter, TikTok etc there is some amount of accountability with people’s accounts but in more anonymised spaces the language and discourse is often just very… dismissive, cynical, violent, etc. and it’s not that it’s not warranted, but cis women are often raised to be repelled by that kind of tone so it can be a shock/difficult to fit in even if the space isn’t overtly or implicitly misogynist.

Because irl women face gender discrimination and greater exploitation, which is a very radicalizing experience that most would like to do away with after facing it from the time you first gain consciousness until you pass away.

Not to attempt to invalidate anybody’s life experience or belittle anybody for their organizing efforts, but men, on the basis of their privileged position in society, have a lot less to directly gain by spending real time and real effort organizing and thus have less actual motivation on average to do something about it.

I'm happy the mods have been able to make this more of a safe place for queer people from all over to discuss and share our experiences. It's been a part of my journey in connecting more with other queer people.

Quite a significant difference between the two surveys though. And just a couple months between them so I doubt it's due to transition.

Edit: my bad!

[-] ComradeEd@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 3 weeks ago

This one was about cishet, while the other one was just about trans. Any cis but not het people are counted as No here, and No on the other one.
