I cannot begin to tell you how important this survey is for the transgender community. The 2011 report and statistics are used EVERYWHERE. It is time to spread the word, and to also participate in this survey. NCTE has the goal of having over 12,000 participants, I think, we can do better folks. Let’s get 30,000!!

Extremely comprehensive research summary by Nat, of Practical Androgyny. Nat compiled statistics from census and research surveys in the UK, US, Israel, and globally, to estimate the number of people who identify as non-binary.
The two main conclusions are:
By the EHRC’s figures 0.4% of Brits are nonbinary. If they’d asked in terms of a man/woman binary it would be higher
Evidence shows that 1.3% of the United Kingdom population are trans or gender variant, of those 30.2% are nonbinary
Keeping in mind deeply flawed survey questions, no cross-reliability measures, and extrapolation from questions not meant to measure non-binary genders, this offers terrific insights for how to glean more accurate insights about this population in the future.
