GSA stands for Gay–Straight Alliance or Gender-Sexuality Alliance
Gender was defined based on two questions: gender identity and sex assigned at birth. Cisgender boys and girls were defined as those who identified as the same gender as their sex assigned at birth. Transboys were defined as those who identified as “transboy” as well as those who identified as boy but were assigned female at birth. Transgirls were defined as those who identified as “transgirl” as well as those who identified as girl but were assigned male at birth. Nonbinary was defined as those who chose genderqueer, nonbinary or another gender as their gender identity. AFAB indicates Assigned Female at Birth and AMAB indicates Assigned Male at Birth
