What is the most inclusive way to ask gender?

Be as inclusive as possible.

The most inclusive way to ask about sex, gender, or sexuality is to leave a blank option where participants can list their identities in their own words.

How do you ask for gender identity on a form?

If you are only asking for someone's gender identity so you will know how to address them, it's better to just ask for pronouns or title (for example Ms./she/her or Mx./they/them). To learn more about how to ask for and use diverse pronouns and titles, check out this Reimagine Gender brief.
