We all agree that we need reliable data and, by the way, that should and can include data on gender reassignment as a separate protected characteristic, even on self-ID in terms of keeping that information. It should not be the basis on which we collect crime data in relation to the different sexes, although it is important to acknowledge that it is possible that transgender people, or those who identify as transgender, might well be the victims of crime more regularly, or they may be the perpetrators. I am happy to know that information as well, but not through the conflation of sex and gender in the bottom-line collecting of crime statistics.
