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 @[email protected] 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
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!
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.
Oh yes of course. That checks out then.
Yeah. I did the poll in the negative because it’d be more inclusive with less options so there is less confusion / manual fixing of the survey.
It is a broader criteria after all. What’s interesting is that it seems that there are quite a lot more trans queers than cis queers here.
