The Nonbinary Fraction: Looking Towards the Future of Gender Equity in Astronomy
Abstract
This paper presents a summary of past and current studies of gender in astronomy, most of which either fail to acknowledge the existence of nonbinary people or intentionally omit us from statistical analyses. We then offer a series of recommendations to correct this issue and incorporate a more complex understanding of gender in space science.
