The list of 24 genders was added last week to formal guidance first issued to public bodies in 2021 about how information on sex and gender should be recorded and published. The guidance says that those in surveys who say that they are transgender or have a “trans history” should then be asked to describe their status in their own words. Public bodies are then advised to categorise their response as one of the possible gender identity options. These include agender, described by the government as “a person who does not identify as having a gender”, or “bigender” meaning they have two genders at once. The list includes “autigender”, a term reserved for autistic people who “think about and relate to their gender label – or lack of a gender label – in the context of autism”. A University of Cambridge study has found that transgender people are three to six times more likely to be autistic, compared to those whose gender identity matches their biological sex.
Antigender? Is there an antigender?
And bigender? Is that bi-gender or big-ender?
