Great illustration of how men and boys are not taught to care about women-focused stories, while women are taught to be interested in leads of all genders. Just looking at the sheer number of movies that only she/her folks like.

I don’t know if the xe/ze data tells us much, I can’t imagine the n was very high. Interesting about the studying overlap with he/him though! They/them would have been interesting!

Ok, so these are all people over 65 (although disabled people are eligible for Medicare, too), but there's a big difference between a 65 year old and an 85 year old in terms of likelihood of chronic medical problems.

I wonder if the Medicare populations in the blue areas are older in general than the Medicare populations in the other areas? The older you get, the more likely you may be to head south for warmer weather.

Xe and Ze are two examples of gender pronouns commonly called neopronouns. So if you followed somebody on this site that had one of those options selected in the settings, you might get a notification like "Exampleperson added Puss in Boots: The Last Wish to zir watchlist."

Neopronouns are sets of pronouns like He/him/his, She/her/her or They/them/their that people have coined recently and that aren't used historically. They are used primarily by nonbinary people, though some surveys indicate only a minority of nonbinary people use them, and often they will also be okay with people using non-neopronouns as well.

If you want to read more about neopronouns you can read this article:
