Notes
- ↑ "Gender Census 2019 - The Full Report (Worldwide)". Gender Census. Retrieved 2020-08-04.
- ↑ 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.
