I doubt ethics committees in many cases know/care about gender and trans issues sadly.

It is sth that is becoming increasingly recognised & as you have to justify every piece of personal data being collected & how it will be used, i think this is something RECs will need to address. That the OP is already conscious of the delicate situation makes it a good showcase

Also I just noticed above: "N/A" and "Other" ARE really offensive. Please don't use them. Nobody clicks on them anyway pretty much so you can't claim to be collecting any data. No agender, genderqueer, non-binary, etc., person sees themselves as being "Other" or "Not applicable"!

If you want "N/A" to mean intersex, type "Intersex". That is the only way intersex people will tell you they are intersex pretty much.

I misspoke in my tweet - I have an open field where I type in people's response. Still, probably shouldn't include it at all.

Open field is better, but what do you get in your data? Do people use it? My guess is you aren't getting a real rich source of information with it.

BTW just a quick Google and there are some pretty good answers, e.g.: https://www.quora.com/How-should-I-ask-about-gender-on-a-survey-in-a-non-binary-way … "How do you identify your gender? (please tick ONE OR MORE boxes) □ Male □ Female □ Gender Diverse (gender non-conforming and/or transgender)"

Not saying this is perfect either. Hence why I really think it's important to reach out to gender diverse people, intersex people, etc. If you want to include them in your sample and know they are included then you have actually put in the work.
