Trans status
Data on employees’ trans status or trans history is limited, as it only gathered as part of the People Survey. The term “trans” is used as a shorthand for “transgender” and encompasses multiple trans and non-binary identities. The terms “cis” or “cisgender” refer to individuals who are not trans and do not have a trans history.
The declaration rate for trans status in the People Survey is 93%
