Not-so-Brighton

Government Gender Survey -- Brigton Asks Children to Choose from List of 25 Options

By Katherine Timpf — February 2, 2016

Parents of kids in Brighton, England are not too happy.

Schoolchildren as young as 13 in Brighton, England were told to fill out a government survey that asked them to pick out their gender (or genders) from a list of 25 options.

Yes — gender or genders.

Among the options were “tri-gender” (having exactly three genders,) “gender fluid” (having your gender change over time,) “demi-boy/demi-girl” (someone who is only partially male/female,) and
“all genders” (which would be an infinite number because gender is obviously a spectrum.)

Below is the complete list, from which instructed students to “choose as many as [they] want:”

  1. Male

  2. Female

  3. Girl

  4. Boy

  5. Tomboy

  6. (Young) woman

  7. (Young) man

  8. Trans-girl
