How to do Better with Gender on Surveys: A guide for HCI Researchers
The following description is from the Association of Computing Machinery website.
The year was 2015 and Katta, who is nonbinary and uses they/them/their pronouns, wanted to apply as a student volunteer for CHI 2016. Excited, they began to fill in the form, but alas, they were presented with only two options: male or female. Insights Being nonbinary, though, meant that selecting either of these boxes would be both false and uncomfortable. After Katta expressed their frustration on Twitter, the general chairs quickly addressed the issue and added a third option.
