Although North America comic conventions are typically thought of as male-dominated events, that doesn't appear to have been the case with this year's Emerald City Comicon.

According to a survey of attendees, 52 percent identified as female, compared to 46 percent as male; 2 percent of respondents "referred to themselves in non-binary terms," including agender, genderfluid, genderqueer and "a nebulous glow cloud."

Of course the survey isn't completely accurate, because not everyone filled one out, and of those who did, probably not everyone did so honestly (I'm willing to wager the person doesn't really gender-identify as "Cthulhu"). However, as The Mary Sue notes, "at the very least, you cannot say that women were rare or a minority in the community."
