ASK IF NO ANSWER GIVEN AT RSPSX21 UPDATED BSA 2022

[Wyak]

Before we move on to our next question, I just wanted to provide some explanation about/as to why we ask this. We ask this question on sex to make sure our study is representative of the population. To do this we use population estimates such as those from the Census, so we ask questions on sex and gender in a similar way to the 2021 Census for this reason.

This information can also help our data users such as charities, organisations, and local and central government to understand differences in opinions.

If you are considering how to answer, use the sex recorded on your birth certificate or Gender Recognition Certificate or passport.

A voluntary question on gender identity will follow this question. This asks if the gender you identify with is different from your sex registered at birth. If it is different, you can then record your gender identity.

Would you be willing to share this information with us?
