[1] This grouping is made from responses to a combination of questions around gender, sexual orientation, being transgender, and/or having an intersex variation. As some of these groups were particularly small in Te Taunaki, we have been unable to include analyses of the combination of disability and communities such as public servants who are transgender, intersex, and/or of another/multiple genders due to privacy/confidentiality requirements.
