People who are asexual may call themselves ace. Those who identify as genderqueer may identify as neither men nor women, may see themselves as outside of or in between the gender binary, or may simply feel restricted by gender labels.
STUD: A term originating within communities of color to describe a masculine identifying person who was assigned female at birth. MUXE : Derived from the Spanish word for woman mujer , muxes generally represent Mexican people who are assigned male at birth and identify as different genders.
Identity, behavior, attraction, and relationships all capture related dimensions of sexual orientation but none of these measures completely addresses the concept.
Defining the transgender population can also be challenging. Definitions of who may be considered part of the transgender community include aspects of both gender identities and varying forms of gender expression or non-conformity. Similar to sexual orientation, one way to measure the transgender community is to simply consider self-identity.
Measures of identity could include consideration of terms like transgender, queer, or genderqueer. The latter two identities are used by some to capture aspects of both sexual orientation and gender identity. Similar to using sexual behaviors and attraction to capture elements of sexual orientation, questions may also be devised that consider gender expression and non-conformity regardless of the terms individuals may use to describe themselves.
An example of these types of questions would be consideration of the relationship between the sex that individuals are assigned at birth and the degree to which that assignment conforms with how they express their gender.
Like the counterpart of measuring sexual orientation through identity, behavior, and attraction measures, these varying approaches capture related dimensions of who might be classified as transgender but may not individually address all aspects of assessing gender identity and expression.
Another factor that can create variation among estimates of the LGBT community is survey methodology. Survey methods can affect the willingness of respondents to report stigmatizing identities and behaviors. Feelings of confidentiality and anonymity increase the likelihood that respondents will be more accurate in reporting sensitive information. Survey methods that include face-to-face interviews may underestimate the size of the LGBT community while those that include methods that allow respondents to complete questions on a computer or via the internet may increase the likelihood of LGBT respondents identifying themselves.
Varied sample sizes of surveys can also increase variation. Population-based surveys with a larger sample can produce more precise estimates see SMART, for more information about survey methodology. A final challenge in making population-based estimates of the LGBT community is the lack of questions asked over time on a single large survey. One way of assessing the reliability of estimates is to repeat questions over time using a consistent method and sampling strategy.
Adding questions to more large-scale surveys that are repeated over time would substantially improve our ability to make better estimates of the size of the LGBT population. Findings shown in Figure 1 consider estimates of the percentage of adults who self-identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual across nine surveys conducted within the past seven years.
All are population-based surveys of adults, though some have age restrictions as noted. The lowest overall percentage comes from the Norwegian Living Conditions Survey at 1. In general, the non-US surveys, which vary from 1. In six of the surveys, lesbian- and gay-identified individuals outnumbered bisexuals.
Furthermore, two one-way ANOVA, followed by post-hoc comparisons were done to specifically test the influence of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation within groups of the same sex assigned at birth: 1. Finally, we investigated sex differences between the six groups of at birth assigned males and females by means of one-way ANOVA and post-hoc two sample t-tests.
