Will the @ONS please confirm that if trans people mark their legal/selfID sex (Q3) and state a corresponding gender identity (Q27), they have no way of ascertaining which people are trans.
And thus, no way of:
1. Estimating true numbers within the population.

2. Understanding population patterns of trans identity.
3. Understanding whether trans people are in stable relationships, and/or are parents.
4. Knowing whether trans people have stable jobs, and whether they earn similarly to peers.

Just a follow up here, to say that, assuming the voluntary GI question is answered genuinely and accurately, it might be possible to disaggregate to get proper stats. It’s a hassle but I think possible. I’d be keen to see what the @ONS plans are to disaggregate sex/gender/trans.
And I think I’ve said it before - it could be simple. 1. Sex on BC? 2. Current legal sex? 3. Current gender identity?
