...



The watchdog said that, by wording the question this way rather than the simpler ‘Are you transgender?’, the survey had confused those whose first language is not English.

It found people with a foreign first language were four times more likely to say they were ‘trans’ than those who have English as their main language. Areas with big, religiously conservative migrant populations, such as Brent and Newham in London, were found to have higher numbers of trans people than Brighton.

ask the wrong question get the wrong answer.

Isn't that because it's the basis of their asylum claim so they have to keep the pretence up on anything they fill in just in case?

I think it will make a come back however in a vastly different context.
