One in three hundred Canadians identify as transgender or non-binary according to data from a new census by Statistics Canada.

The results showed, of the nearly 30.5 million people in Canada aged 15 and over living in a private household, 59,460 were transgender and another 41,335 were non-binary.

Broken down by age and sex, the data found that young people are much more likely to identify as transgender. Statistics Canada labels it a “generation gap”.

The two sexes follow quite different patterns. While the proportion of transgender women — i.e., biological males — fell from 0.18% (aged 20 to 24) to 0.08% (aged 65+), transgender men were far more heavily skewed to the younger age groups. Among biological females, those aged 15 to 24 were over five times more likely to identify as transgender than those over 40.
