Note(s):
Given that the non-binary population is small, data aggregation to a two-category gender variable is sometimes necessary to protect the confidentiality of responses provided. In these cases, individuals in the category "non-binary persons" are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the "+" symbol.
The category "Women+" includes women, as well as some non-binary persons. The category "Men+" includes men, as well as some non-binary persons.
