If "non-binary" isn't mutually exclusive with "men" (i.e., one of the alternatives in the traditional "binary"), then how can it be said to mean anything at all? It's one thing to reject traditional classification of gender; it's entirely another to reject basic logical axioms. | |

Irrespective of the quality of the survey design... being able to pivot experience of SO by demographics is useful IMO. If only as a starting point for understanding those perspectives particularly if shared within a demograhic. But I do note @anonymous comments in ignoring_gravity's answer. | |

| Nov 28, 2019 at 12:41 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @Inactive-ObjectingExtremism 'ethnicity' might have been a better term than 'race'. In that case it is not only USA-centered. Many national bureaus of statistics (all over the world) consider ethnicity. The main problem with this survey is that the study of ethnicity is a bit misplaced. Whatever differences it might find, it will overestimate influences of ethnicity because there will be many other factors that may correlate with ethnicity (correlation ≠ causation) and also ethnic sub-populations at a national level (this seems to be USA based) may not need to be relevant on a global level. | |
