1. The page appears not to exist.

Looks like they deleted it.

But if you go to https://www.cqc.org.uk/publication/surveys/maternity-survey-2022 and then look at the "2022 Maternity Survey: National tables" document, sheet G8, you get the following:

G8. Is your gender the same as the sex you were registered as at birth?
	Survey year (Count)		Survey year (%)
	2021	2022	2021	2022
Yes	23045	20455	99%	98%
No	131	136	1%	1%
I would prefer not to say	203	238	1%	1%
Number of respondents	23379	20829	100%	100%

I was guessing it would be very few people.

I would also have said so and the numbers of people who could choose to take that route would be tiny to begin with.

Something else for the hatemongers to scream about no doubt!

Thanks!

I wonder what the accuracy is, in statistics compiled from a survey where people must state their gender.

Could these results lie within 'error bars'?
