Beyond the Binary: Design Principles for Gender-Identity Inclusion

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Gender identity isn’t binary. But until now, our platform gave research participants two options: male or female. It wasn’t working for our users, our customers, our employees, or our company.

So we took a hard look at how our platform asked users about gender—then talked to ~70 people across the gender spectrum about how we could build a more inclusive experience for our non-cisgender users.

It surfaced design principles for gender-identity inclusion—and insights for any company looking to move beyond the binary. The lead researchers will share:
  • How they designed the research—and why we launched it
  • What they found from the conversations, research and prototype testing
  • How you now can conduct more inclusive research
  • How you can use the insights to make your company more inclusive
