People who use screenreaders, I have a question about graphs as images in the Gender Census report.
Would you rather the alt text/image description was:
1) A very brief description such as "bar graph", and a link in the caption (under the image) to the Google Sheet containing the actual data and the graph
2) The numerical data as alt text, e.g. "nonbinary, 30%, 594. genderqueer, 25%, 456. etc."
3) Either of the above is fine
4) Something else that I have not anticipated!
