Number of transgender people living in UK may have been overestimated by 2021 census.

Some people who do not speak fluent English may have misunderstood the question.

ONS had previously defended its methodology, despite academics raising concerns over its accuracy.

London Borough of Newham had the highest proportion of people who identified as transgender ( 1.51% ).
