IDENTITY & KINSHIP

One section was not included in mapping; ‘Gender”. The information from this section was divided into two new sections, ‘G_CisOrNot’ and ‘G_BrokenDown’.

G_CisOrNot: Gender was most broadly categorized as cisgender, TGNC (Trans/Gender Nonconforming), and undisclosed. This information was gathered from the section ‘Gender’ from the data collection spreadsheet.

G_BrokenDown: The categories within the section “G_CisOrNot’ were more specifically identified as cis, cis woman, cis man, trans, queer, two-spirit, non-binary or other GNC. Placed within ‘other GNC’ were individuals whose self-identified gender was specific and did not fit within the other categories. The section ‘G_BrokenDown’ was then used to form five additional categories which explore the specific ways in which individuals categorized as ‘trans’, ‘non-binary’, ‘trans & non-binary’ ‘queer’, or ‘other GNC’ self-identified within the Facebook post. The categories and a list of ways individuals within the categories identified are listed below:

■ G_Trans: Individuals self-identified as trans, trans woman, trans man, trans femme, trans masc

■ G_NB: Individuals self-identified as non-binary, non-binary (AMAB), non-binary (AFAB), non-binary male expressing-femme feeling

■ G_Trans&NB: Individuals self-identified as trans non-binary, trans non-binary (trans-fem), trans non-binary (trans masc)

■ G_Queer: Individuals self-identified as queer, queer femme, queer femme/futch, queer/woman

■ G_Other: Individuals self-identified as genderqueer, genderqueer man, genderqueer/trans, femme mostly cis but gender-y, gender diverse, genderfluid (some cis privlidge), female/masc-of-centre, queer femme, non-conforming female, woman/person, genderfluid-transfeminine,

Pronouns: Pronouns were listed as identified in the Facebook posts. Individuals who identified a preference for certain pronouns but stated any pronouns can be used had the preferred pronouns listed, followed by ‘or any’ to indicate others can be used. Other than this addition, the section did not need to be normalized.

Sexuality: Sexualities were categoriezed as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer, other. Placed within ‘other’ were individuals whose sexuality was specific and did not fit within the other categories, or listed multiple of the identified categories. The section ‘S_Other’ was added which specifies the sexualities for individuals categorized as ‘other’ in the section ‘Sexuality’.

■ S_Other: Individuals included in the category ‘other’ identified their sexualities as LGBTQ+, asexual lesbian, asexual queer, queer bisexual, queer LGBTQ
