In the 2019 Edmonton census, the gender options were changed to "Man/boy", "Woman/girl", "Trans Mman", "Trans Woman", "[[Two-Spirit]]", "[[Non-binary]]", "Another gender", or "Prefer not to answer". The total population was 972,223; 284 people were Two-Spirit, 717 were nonbinary, 289 chose the "other gender" option, and 94,315 people preferred not to answer. This makes a total count of 1,290 people who reported a gender identity that was not a binary gender; that's about 0.133% of the city's population.<ref>[https://public.tableau.com/profile/city.of.edmonton#!/vizhome/2019EdmontonMunicipalCensus/2019EdmontonMunicipalCensusPopulationbyAgeRangeandGender 2019 Edmonton Municipal Census (Population by Age Range and Gender)]</ref> (The actual count of nonbinary people may be higher due to the large number of people who chose not to report their gender.)
