Don't forget that bisexual and pansexual are included. It's very common for basically all women to identify as bisexual at least, because women sure are pretty!
I'd be interested to know if the survey includes trans women under the 'women' category. This seems like a real dilemma which can skew the numbers even more.
Depending on if you limit your categories to AFAB or not, you'll get different numbers for the total percentage of LGBTQIA+.
I could just read the article of course, but who has that kind of time xD.
It includes transgender women, but I don't think doing so skews the numbers. AFAIK in the US there are about the same number of trans women as trans men, so any increase in the queer percentage from trans women would be balanced out by the decrease from excluding trans men.
I'd expect an AFAB-specific poll to have a slightly higher queer percentage, since it would include nonbinary people while this poll excludes them.
