Are you trying to be funny, because that question made me chuckle.
Seriously though, that actually is a great question. I don't know how to answer. I suppose many Transgenedered people have to rely on their gov't issued identification until an official sex-change occurs. From personal experience working as a Radiology Tech, I once had to take a Chest X-Ray of a woman. However her paperwork carried a male name and the male gender was chosen as her sex. She was a Trasngendered person but her only legal identity was the one she was born with. I have seen many Transgendered patients with the same situation (legal identity is different than social identity).
Maybe the same happens with the census.
Peace

GREAT QUESTION..!!!!
If the census was being used to predict possible future generations of a population group then these people could not be counted on either side since they cannot reproduce.
If the census is being used to determine population groups in order to form gender based data for say voting or services required in the area then I'd say they should be counted.

No. The census has a lot of error in it, anyway. Illegal immigrants mess up the census counts MUCH more than the very small number of people whose gender is ambiguous or changed.

I sincerely think they would hope so. However, there is a birth gender with which the census bureau would be primarily concerned with; not the gender identity of the individual, per se.

Nope because they've picked a sex
people who mark Jedi as their religion muck up the census
Wow bringing immigration into a question that wasn't vaguely related to it - that's an obsession

Only if transgender people are calculating the results

No.
There are so few of them that they are not statistically significant.
What creates census inaccuracies are homeless people, because they are so hard to count and because there are so many of them.
Interesting question.

I submit that the percentage of such folks are not statistically significant.

It can't get much more messed up than it is now, so I doubt it.
