What is the proper way to ask gender 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.
What should I write in gender identity?
When asking about sex as a category, words like male, female and intersex should be used. Gender identity refers to the internal/psychological sense of self, regardless of what sex a person was assigned at birth. When asking about gender as a category, words like woman, man, and trans* should be used.
What are the 7 gender types?
