Table note 7
The LGB+ category includes persons whose reported sexual orientation is lesbian, gay, bisexual, or another sexual orientation that is not heterosexual.
Table note 8
This category includes women (and/or girls), as well as some non-binary persons. 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. In these cases, individuals in the category "non-binary persons" are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the "+" symbol.
Table note 9
This category includes men (and/or boys), as well as some non-binary persons. 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. In these cases, individuals in the category "non-binary persons" are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the "+" symbol.
