TORONTO (AP) — Changing a question on last year’s census has resulted in a snapshot of Canada’s transgender population, with data released Wednesday showing 0.33 per cent of the country’s 38.3 million people identify as a gender that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
For the first time, Statistics Canada differentiated between ``sex at birth″ and ``gender″ in the census. While the agency and advocates agree the new numbers likely underestimate the true size of the population, they say the data will offer crucial insight into a marginalized community.
The data collected during last year’s national household survey shows about 100,815 people are transgender or non-binary, including 31,555 who are transgender women, 27,905 who are transgender men and 41,355 who are non-binary.
Fae Johnstone, a transgender advocate, said population-level data backing up trans people’s lived experience has thus far been slim, so this new information is important both symbolically and practically.
While previous censuses asked only about sex, the 2021 edition asked about both ``sex at birth,″ which it said is ``determined by a person’s biological characteristics,″ and ``gender,″ which it said could differ from what’s indicated on legal documents.
Under ``gender,″ respondents were able to choose either male or female, or write in a third option.

So for one confused individual out of three hundred people, we are twisting our collective selves into pretzels???
Majority rule now is micro-minority rule
Yup. ALL things must change to help this minority of folks that is smaller than the other minorities. Reee-friggin—diculous. Talk about UNequal treatment for the rest of the population. But, hey................
My goodness, the data overwhelms me! LOL. But we have to twist the plot of every book and movie and tv show to pretend that every other person harbors this mental illness—3 people out of a thousand.
“Assigned at birth”?
Did they hatch from a bottle with neither XX nor XY chromosomes?
Somebody had to implant those?
Not enough for us to adapt. It is up to them to adapt.
“… showing 0.33 per cent of the country’s 38.3 million people identify as a gender that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.…”
*****************************************************
Half of the population is below average in IQ by definition. 5% is WAY, WAY BELOW AVERAGE. My experience with stupid people is that it is not uncommon to fill out forms incorrectly and not what they really mean.
0.3% of the population
Let me guess...98% are transgender.
We should have mental institutions for the mentally ill.
Pandering to their insanity is cruel.
I think they lavish attention on them as a way to increase the freak population.
Gullible people see how the media treats the pervs as if they’re special and convince themselves it would be cool to be depraved and get all of those perks and attention.
Number of people who are transgender=0. Transgenderism does not exist; you are either male or female according to you biology. Follow the science.

I just saw a commercial on YouTube for chicken nuggets. The camera focused on the chicken nuggets while these two women compared their love for each other to their love for chicken nuggets. And, if you really loved me, you’d give me your chicken nuggets. If you can disconnect your barf response the commercial did get across the new chicken nuggets and the video looked scrumptious. But the gay political message was much more important to the restaurant chain. (I want to say it’s Taco Bell, but I’m so good at editing commercials from my consciousness that the political message is what stuck. I wouldn’t eat there anyway as they’re probably not even on their second pound of meat yet. Oh, and one of my business courses went over how those pictures are shot. For the most part they aren’t even showing real food.)
and half that one in three hundred or better may have just been a duffus or answered in error. Real number may be one in one thousand.
Those numbers are always inflated. One study I read about said 80% of the cases were transitory. Anyway, it’s not my circus...
That stat is probably 10x over the number of truly mentally ill who think they were ‘born in the wrong body’; the remainder are likely easily influenced, weak minded bags of pudding - there ARE tons of those. We know because they vote democrat.
“”Pandering to their insanity is cruel”” AND unusual.
There’s a prohibition against that in an old document somewhere, I believe.
Meh, that’s by racist white men.
What have they ever invented?…
