Official figures claiming there are 262,000 transgender people in England and Wales have been stripped of their accredited status, after fears the census question may have been misunderstood.
On Thursday, the Office for National Statistics requested a reclassification of its 2021 gender identity data from “official statistics” to “official statistics in development”.It is the first time this has happened to census data since the Office for Statistics Regulation was formed before the 2011 census. The census is the questionnaire on British society produced every ten years.
Of the total of over 100 questions in the 2011 and 2021 censuses, this is the first to have been downgraded by the ONS.”The 2021 census was the first to explore the issue of gender identity and of 262,000 people who indicated they were trans, 118,000 did not provide further detail.Some 48,000, or 0.1 per cent of the population aged 16 and over, identified as a trans man, and the same number identified as a trans woman.
