Although intersex experiences are not discussed in detail in Gendered Intelligence’s trans training, it can be useful to understand how trans and intersex people differ and some of the issues there may be in common between the two groups.

Of particular interest are the following documents:

Glossary of Terms

Here is a selection of glossaries – there are many more online. These have been selected as being either relatively new, or containing some measure of update commitment, and containing no descriptions that Gendered Intelligence would regard as wholly inaccurate. However, even comparing these, you’ll notice differences of understanding even between some of the more common terms.

Prevalence Statistics

Approx 1:100 people fall somewhere under the broader trans umbrella:

National LGBT Survey – Research Report, 2018
First national LGBT survey – 108,000 respondents incl. 13% trans people – summary and full reports https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-lgbt-survey-summary-report

The recent government LGBT survey report by the Government Equalities Office says (p14) (our bold):

“There is currently no robust measure of the size of the trans population in the UK. Applying estimates of population prevalence from studies in other countries suggests that between 0.35% and 1% of the UK population might be trans, although this does not include non-binary people. …”

Given that the report also says (p16):

“Of all respondents, 49% were men (including 3% trans men), 42% were women (including 3% trans women), and 7% were non-binary. The remaining respondents either had an ‘other’ gender identity (1%) or said that they did not know or preferred not to say (1%)”, this indicates that non-binary may, in fact, be a majority identity amongst trans people and applying that to the 0.35% – 1% statistics gives a range inclusive of non-binary people, of at least 0.7% – 2%

1% is the statistic that is commonly used across Europe.
