* Because of differences in collection of sex and gender information among jurisdictions, both sex and gender were used to represent gender identity. Persons whose reported sex differed from their reported gender were classified as transgender (59). Self-reported gender or sex assigned at birth were missing for 10,370 (36.9%) adults and their gender identity was presumed to be cisgender consistent with the available response unless their gender identity was reported as transgender or “another gender identity.”

^† Persons whose self-reported gender was “another gender identity” (i.e., not transgender or cisgender), such as nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender nonconforming, were classified as gender-diverse.
