*Respondents could select multiple responses for gender identity, sexual orientation and race/ethnicity. Categories include anyone who selected that option and, as such, respondents can be represented in more than one category for each of these characteristics.
†The respondent who selected “cisgender man” was assigned female sex at birth and was eligible to participate.
‡Respondents who selected “cisgender woman” and/or “woman” also selected at least one other gender identity other than “cisgender woman” or “woman”.
