A person's gender may change over time.Some people may not identify with a specific gender.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."Men＋" includes men (and/or boys), as well as some non-binary persons."Women＋" includes women (and/or girls), as well as some non-binary persons.
