Updated wording around demographics.
This update focuses mainly on the gender-related questions. I see there were more open issues in the other repos mentioning the wording around the demographics (specifically discussions around the race & ethnicity section, and a potential new disability section), so anticipate there will be more changes needed later to those parts as well 😊
Biggest changes
Gender
Changed: Male→Man
Changed: Female→Woman
Changed: Non-Binary/Third Gender→Non-Binary
Added: Third Gender
Added: Two-Spirit
Added: Genderqueer
Added: Genderfluid
Added: Questioning
Added: Not Listed
The survey should use checkboxes instead of radio buttons, and allow for a write-in option. More gender options could be added. If any get removed, I recommend keeping at least the following:
Man
Woman
Non-Binary
Not listed / Write-in
Prefer not to say
This still includes a large amount of people in a respectful way, and has a write-in option for those who are not represented.
Also changed the way gender was asked for to: What's your gender? Select all that apply. The survey is anonymous, and we only use this information to highlight which demographics responded to the survey. (instead of "identify as").
The last part of the sentence could be altered, @SachaG maybe you can update it since you have a better overview than me over how the data is stored etc?
Race & Ethnicity
Changed: White or of European descent→White
Changed: Hispanic or Latino/Latina→Hispanic or Latino/Latina/Latinx
