Sex & gender
Lifelines repeatedly asked participants about their biological sex (it is, in fact, a default question in most questionnaires) (section: demographics).
More recently, participants were asked to provide information about their (psychological) gender.
In addition, a “gender index” score was calculated for all adult participants based on their self-reported feminine characteristics (section: secondary & linked variables).
