Note(s):
Given that the non-binary population is a small population, data aggregation is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of responses provided by respondents. Most information from the Canadian Social Survey is disseminated using a two-category gender variable. In these cases, people in the category "non-binary person" are distributed in the other two gender categories.
