I wasn't able to find any guidance when I looked.
But luckily it was really easy to complete the consultation document as it's very clearly laid out. The only time you need to toggle across to the draft guidance to answer something specific is during the questions on gender identity belief. At this point you'll need to read the wording to see if you agree with it. For all of the other questions, everything you need is contained within the question list.

As a bonus, it asks two well-worded questions about sex and gender identity. There is one question about sex and a separate about gender identity, including the option to state that gender identity is not relevant to you. Unlike the Gender Questioning Children guidance, which simply asked "what is your gender identity?" without asking about sex at all 🤦‍♀️

I'm looking for any guidance on responding, and getting a bit muddled. I think some of this guidance was for the consultation before the latest version was out?

If anyone can point to any more recent guidance that would be appreciated.
