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 "Men+" includes men (and/or boys), as well as some non-binary persons. The category "Women+" includes women (and/or girls), as well as some non-binary persons. The sum of the values for each category may differ from the total due to rounding. Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Survey on Disability, 2017 and 2022.
