@foone I was called by a census worker during the pandemic and the person on the phone was 100% okay with enby answers.
Even got a nice letter about it from the worker afterward.
I am tired of these times.
If the census is "mandatory" where you are, demand the paper form. Then you can refuse to answer / do other nonsense for any question you don't like. I quit out of the online version the moment it validate-shamed me and demanded I comply with its restrictions 😉
I did this last time, drawing a line through every question that I thought exceeded the original scope of the census here (which is pretty much all but one of them). I got a couple of semi-nasty phone calls from a supervisor of some sort trying to get me to answer the questions, but I stuck to my guns.
It's theoretically possible to get fined here for refusal to complete the census, but nothing happened to me. I'm guessing it's similar in most western nations.

@foone does anyone, including foone turing, even know?
I always assumed it was a situation like a fey said "hey can I get your gender?" And welp
