In comparison to self-identification questions where open-ended responses are seen as the most inclusive alternative (Lindqvist et al., 2020), the categorization of others benefits from response options that explicitly remind participants that not all people identify as women or men.

We found that only multiple categories elicited beyond-binary response
there is no analysis to show that the rate increased, right?
-
Experiment 2 indicated that participants categorize beyond the binary when response options include more options than women and men only. However, the free text option did not differ from the binary option. Thus, the multiple categories condition, with its explicitly stated non-binary options seems to act as reminders to participants. Furthermore, categorization within the binary was not skewed by the addition of multiple categories or the free text option, meaning that the ratio of women and men categorizations was still about 50/50. This did not systematically affect their overall pattern of responses in terms of woman and man categorizations.

In short, the stimuli comprised a multiracial set of faces morphed to vary in terms of facial gender. We defined facial gender as the degree of the female face present in the morph. In other words, a 33 face was slightly tilted toward the man, a 50 face was an even mixture and a 100 consisted only of the woman’s face. Because there were 18 pairs morphed in 7 steps, the total number of faces was 126.

-
like the early wave of challenge to the gender binary, study 1 does not capture the full diversity of gender. Moreover, given this diversity categorization of individuals as beyond the traditional binary framework is emerging as a an area of research unto itself. However, being a relatively unexplored domain, effective methodologies for measuring these categorizations are not well-established. This study aims to address this gap by identifying more accurate and comprehensive methods for gender categorization analysis.

The BSRI defined gender as a psychological trait and the people possessing those traits were still seen as either women or men.

Such binary can be reflected in reposnse options that posit male and female as opposites by placing them at the ends of a single dimension or providing woman and man as the only options to choose from.

Binary and unidimensional response options, for example, may bias participants toward conceiving of gender as a binary category. Non-binary, or bidimensional response options, on the other hand, could have an opposite effect

or how about just a distribution of nonbinary? In a way, if one knows the prop non-binary, the prop binary is uninformative because 1 - prop non bin = prop binary (at least for two left most columns)
