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. In these cases, individuals in the category "non-binary people" are distributed into the other two gender categories. Unless otherwise indicated in the text, the category "men+" includes men (and boys), as well as some non-binary people, while the category "women+" includes women (and girls), as well as some non-binary people.
