If you’ve had a look at the new census forms being sent out, you will have noticed there’s a new question: “What is your gender” which is followed immediately by “What was your sex at birth?” This is deliberately dishonest on their part.
Both questions have “male” and “female” as the options, with the gender question allowing you to write in another option. Lobby group Speak Up for Women has asked Stats NZ about what this means:
Stats NZ themselves define Gender as a person’s social and personal identity. When they are asking you for your Gender, they actually mean your Gender identity. They are asking you to answer an ideological question under the guise of a factual and definable concept.
As I wrote in my review of What is a Woman, gender theory was developed and popularised by a New Zealand paedophile. This is a deeply evil ideology that has captured most of our government institutions.
Now, you’d think there’s an easy way out. You can just write in ‘attack helicopter’ and be done with it, right? Wrong. There are 47 coded answers in the schema that Stats don’t tell you about – if you don’t match one of their codes they will simply ‘correct’ your answer with data sourced elsewhere.
Sometimes controversial questions, like the one about religion, have a “refuse to answer” option that allows you to record an objection to the question itself. But Stats won’t allow that for questions they actually care about.
The only way to provide a conscientious or religious objection to the gender question is to tick “another gender” and then write in “none”, which matches a Residual Category and does not allow Stats NZ to ‘correct’ the data.
“None” is … a disruptive answer. If half the population have no gender then Stats NZ may find that the Gender by Default reporting method is unworkable and revert to Sex by Default.

There is nothing special you can do to object to “what was your sex at birth” as the answer has to be binary. The way it’s framed makes it sound like you’re a tranny no matter how you respond and implicitly requires you to accept that sex can be changed.
A useful census tip for this problem is to always skip questions you don’t like or disagree with. In this case “What was your sex at birth?” is a question I strongly disagree with, and similarly the government’s definition of marriage is so vastly different from mine – so I leave those questions blank. There are plenty of other questions where I’d write “none of your business” if I could, but blanks will have to do.
If they want to do the guesswork or simply assign values to questions you skip, there’s nothing you can do about it.
When there are options for you to outright object to an evil premise, it is important to take the opportunity to do so.
Both Q3 and Q4 of the 2023 Census are deliberately framed as anti-biology and anti-Christian statements, and people need to know about this deception if they are to answer honestly.
Please share this far and wide, because if enough people do this it will have a real-world impact on how census data get used.
