Title: Why does the Gender Census say "always, solely and completely"?
Subheading: Because we want to hear from everyone except these people in the middle. [Arrow pointing to the centre of the Venn diagram.]
Centre: Only 100% a [woman/man] all the time.
Circle 1: Always a [woman/man]. Partially a [woman/man] and something else, but all the time.
Circle 2: Completely a [woman/man]. Sometimes 100% [woman/man], and something else as well.
Circle 3: Solely a [woman/man]. Sometimes partially a [woman/man], and never anything else.
Circle 1 and 2 overlap: Always 100% [woman/man], and something else as well.
Circle 2 and 3 overlap: 100% and only a [woman/man], but only sometimes.
Circle 3 and 1 overlap: Always and solely a [woman/man], but not completely.
Outside of all three circles: None of the above; Secret third thing.
Disclaimer: Serving suggestion. Your mileage may vary. Genders in the Venn diagram may be larger than they appear.
