Note. There were 5 participants with missing data on the question asking about sex assigned at birth, and 3 participants with missing data about their race/ethnicity and income. The classification of “man” and “woman” refer to trans men and trans women respectively, as there were no cisgender individuals in the sample. For analyses, the categories of “man” and “transgender man” were combined, as were the categories of “woman” and “transgender woman.” These options were provided for participants who do not identify with the prefix of “trans” for their gender identities.
