Thomson Reuters – From gender-fluid and non-binary to genderqueer, the world has grappled in recent years with the growing spectrum of how people identify themselves. Now an Australian study has found more than 30 separate gender definitions available on social media platforms or offered by government institutions.
These include “pangender”, “poligender”, “transgender”, “androgyne” and “demigirl” alongside the traditional male and female. The research, based on Queensland University of Technology’s Australian Sex Survey, found women had more choice than men, according its author Stephen Whyte.
