"'some people may have misunderstood'. I'm sorry, but some people may misunderstand anything and everything. Low bar. This is all over 262k people, approx 0.5% of the population of the UK. That number is fully in line with other estimates in, for example, the US and other countries"

    "But last week Biggs was finally vindicated when a review by the Office for Statistics Regulation concluded that one of the questions in the 2021 census had been confusing, and ruled that the numbers of trans people recorded in the census would no longer be recognised as an “accredited official statistic”. This was the first time in the more than 220-year history of the census that data from it had been downgraded.
    
    The ONS itself admitted that some people may have misunderstood the question “Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?”, leading to people recording that they were trans when they were not.
    
    This also vindicated Whitehall sources who, The Telegraph reported last year, said the ONS had “hugely overestimated” the number of trans people in the UK in the census, after the body had admitted it should have carried out “additional probing” before releasing the data."
