Note: Due to a redesign in the GSS 2019, caution should be used when comparing the current estimates to estimates from GSS cycles 2018 and earlier.
In the GSS 2019, those who identified as non-binary were randomly re-distributed by Statistics Canada into the men and women gender categories (labelled men+/women+) to protect the confidentiality of individuals in the small non-binary population when necessary.
