"Key points:
The census suggests the trans population is significantly smaller than Stonewall’s previous estimates.
The questions and guidance designed by the ONS have not succeeded in giving reliable information on either the sex of trans-identified people or their overall number.
The trans population appear to be strongly resistant to requirements of honesty about their sex, even when that is legally required and the information is treated confidentially.
Young women are identifying as transgender at a higher rate than women in previous generations, and than the general population.
Males who identify as trans are five times more likely than other males to be imprisoned for sexual offences.
Those declaring a transgender identity are less likely than the general population to be victims of murder."
