Pillgwenlly 1.32% Gender Reassignment Gender identity is defined by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) as the way an individual identifies with a gender category. This is based on an individual’s own perception of themselves and as such the gender category with which a person identifies may not match the sex they were assigned at birth. In contrast, sex is biologically determined. The lack of accurate information on Gender Identity remains a significant weakness in the national and regional equalities monitoring. The Office of National Statistics (ONS) is currently reviewing how it collects information on Gender Identity and has committed to work positively with stakeholders and community members, with a view to improve how gender identity data is collected (ONS). Sexual Identity There is also no local data on sexual orientation. However, in 2016, the Annual Population Survey found 95.2% of people in Wales identified as heterosexual/straight, 1.0% as gay / lesbian, 0.17% as bisexual and 0.4% as other. 2.7% of people did not know, did not answer or respond to this question.
