Hi everyone, it’s a special day for us today. Five years ago, we announced the Gender Construction Kit. The site has kept growing and improving since thanks to the many UK trans, NB, and queer people who have contributed corrections, suggestions, photos, FOIs and articles. 🧵

The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
