Hey, first of all I’d like to sincerely thank y’all for including other or nonbinary as an option in most places that ask about gender! I just wanted to point out that the demographics questions for the Sanity Test still only include male and female as possible answers for the gender question. I just skip the question, but I would like to be able to specify that I am nonbinary when filling out that test as well. Again though, it is so super fantastic that this site, in accordance with standard best practices amongst many mental health professional organization as well as common decency, respects the diversity of gender-variance!

Thanks for your suggestion. I don't know if adding an additional gender option to the Sanity Score test would be possible or not. However, as a person who has struggled with gender dysphoria all of my life (while living my entire life as a male) I would find it interesting to take the test first as a male & then as, perhaps, non-binary or whatever the third gender option might be.

I've taken a couple of small gender-identity-related tests recently. (There are links to them in threads in the LGBTQ+ & sexual & gender issues forums here on PC.) And the results always place me in the "undifferentiated" mildly feminine category (which is somewhat surprising since I don't think I come across to people as effeminate... more quiet & reserved.) But, anyway, it would be interesting to see if my Sanity Score test results would be different if I identified myself as non-binary rather than male.
