For individuals with the gender entry “diverse”, the DFG applies a statistical gender assigned at random for reporting purposes. On this basis, persons registered as diverse are reported with equal probability as either male or female in order to minimise the risk of potential de-anonymisation resulting from the very small number of cases that would arise if non-binary, trans* and inter* individuals were reported separately.
