In the past, the only gender options were male and female, which didn&#8217;t account for transgender people. Now the census is requesting $10 million to evaluate the best way to ask about both topics. <\/p>\n<p>Since its survey comes out every 10 years, the multimillion-dollar funding will be spent over several years before the next census is released. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/1-in-300-canadians-identifies-as-transgender-or-nonbinary-census\">1 IN 300 CANADIANS IDENTIFIES AS TRANSGENDER OR NONBINARY: REPORT<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>The survey changed from 2010 to 2020, including a <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/newsroom\/blogs\/random-samplings\/2021\/08\/improvements-to-2020-census-race-hispanic-origin-question-designs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fill-in-the-blank section under race<\/a> so that people could input the complexity of their ties with race and ethnicity.
