(Ez keeps a tag on his blog dedicated to posts that mention statistics and one for canon representation, which may be a good place to start finding statistics and examples. He also spent time adding up exactly how many xenogender identities appeared in the 2020 Gender Census)

Perceptions and Discrimination
This section can cross over somewhat with the controversy section, but focuses more on the specific kinds of discrimination and oppression that these people may face. Examples would be mentioning systematic transphobia and nonbinary erasure on the page for agender, mentioning rates of mental health issues in this group, etc. Specific examples of notable transphobes or other bigots mentioning this term to mock it are acceptable as well.
