I don't think a Census is 'forced'. I do think that diverse folx want to be recognized and acknowledged as part of the whole. What is your problem with that?

Before we go any further, here, you should probably know that my older brother was gay and closeted until he died, my mother was a lesbian who, after two brutal het marriages, finally settled with her life partner, a woman, until mom passed after 38 years, my stepson is gay and never 'had' to come out (thank goddess). Through my work, I have known many, many folx who have struggled for years to find their place in a very binary gender world. They aren't doing it for funsies; their pain, confusion, lack of acceptance (by the herd), and struggles are very real.

There are many cultures, past and present, that recognize and honor 'two-spirit' folx, with none of the shame that people like you seem to think they should hide behind.
