Nonbinary
Any gender identity that is not strictly male or female all the time, and so does not fit within the gender binary.
Transgender
Identifying as a gender other than the one that was assigned at birth.[1]
Genderqueer
Umbrella term that refers both to non-normative gender identity and gender expression.
Agender
Not have a gender or a gender identity. Sometimes also described as having a neutral identity.

Genderless

Demiboy
Only partially identifying as a boy or man, and sometimes partially identifying as something else.
Genderflux

Demigender

Notes
Cite error: Invalid parameter in <references> tag
- ↑ The reason this is not the most frequent identity is that the Gender Census is open only to people who are not men or women exclusively and all of the time. Transgender is more common than nonbinary, but many trans people are not nonbinary.
