    Given how they went out of their way to reject inclusion of gender and sexuality in the last census, I don’t have high hopes for this one

      Wasn’t that a political decision made by the government, rather than by apolitical civil servants?

        It was, but the politicians aren’t going anywhere, and anti LGBT sentiment has increased since last time, making it even more likely they’ll get involved

          We at least have different politicians in charge at the moment, and as long as they stay around long enough I’m reasonably confident that it’ll be at least a step in the right direction.

            Given how willing even they are to throw trans folk under the bus of political convenience, I’m a little more cynical :/
