One of the questions in the 1971 census is the number of children a woman has had
But it only asked about children born in marriage

Presumably at the time it was felt to be too sensitive to ask about children born outside of marriage - who might have been adopted, brought up within the wider family etc... certainly not something to talk about on the doorstep.
Transsexuality used to be a bit like this - something shameful, not to be talked about, with the idea that a person would want to live 'in stealth'.
But social norms - on children borne outside of wedlock, and gender non-conformity change

In 2021 the @ONS should make clear that the question about sex is a straightforward one.
Their is a separate question on gender identity for those who wish to answer.
Being transsexual or transgender is nothing to be ashamed of.
