(originally posted on fedi{target="_blank" rel="external"})
update: in gender census' 2025 report{target="_blank" rel="external"} the numbers continue to be very similar, sitting at about 62% and 30% respectively.
update: in 2024, ~60% of respondents use "nonbinary." ~29% use "enby."
according to gender census{target="_blank" rel="external"}, which surveys "people whose genders are not adequately described, expressed or encompassed by the restrictive gender binary":
- ~64% of respondents use the term "nonbinary"
- ~32% of respondents use the term "enby"
source: gender census - identity words{target="_blank" rel="external"} (this was a "choose all that apply" question, not "either/or")
we don't know the overlap - it could be that half of nonbinary people also use enby, or that bunches of people use enby who don't call themselves nonbinary
either way, there's a big chunk of nonbinary folks who don't call themselves enbies - at least half of us
if you're talking about the entire community or the gender category: please consider just saying nonbinary
