Again: I have no gender, and do not believe in gender. February 23, 2023 asking @2023Census Twitter account what would happen if the question was left blank or answered NONE they replied:<\/p>\n Kia ora, if you do not answer the census question \u201cWhat is your gender, a gender response will be drawn from alternate data sources. These sources are being finalised, but it may include your answer to the \u201cWhat was your sex at birth?\u201d question.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n How can you assume I have a gender from my answer to #4 when sex and gender are not the same? The alternate data sources you draw a gender response from will be questions regarding sex, sex is not gender.<\/p>\n Under the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act 2022<\/b> 5 (1) (b) you may not \u201cchange or suppress someone\u2019s gender identity.\u201d
