No (July)

12% marked ‘No gender’ in the July Census. “It’ a surprise,” said Niall O’Neill (The Know Institute). “There’s a protest element, not wanting to be specified by gender, but then, what of the others?” ‘No address’: 31%. “In a war situation this would have meaning. Online the Bureau cannot determine if citizens are simply declaring anonymity. Homeless is not a category.” ‘No income’: 1%. “Most surely squillionaires who pay no tax. We accept though, citizens who cannot own a computer cannot fill in the form.” ‘No religion’: 15%. “It fluctuates. The No Brand Religion Movement (NBRM) has had an impact.”
