Gender diversity status of couples : new information in the 2021 Census.: CS982-00001/2021-2E-PDF
"On July 13, 2022, Statistics Canada will disseminate census information on the gender diversity status of couples for the first time. For the 2021 Census, the precision of 'at birth' was added to the sex question on the census, and a new question on gender was included. These changes allow all persons living in Canada - including transgender and non-binary individuals - to self-identify through the census. This represents another step in Statistics Canada's continuing efforts to better reflect societal changes and produce statistical information on diverse population groups. The terminology used to describe families and couples continues to evolve. New concepts for the 2021 Census related to the gender diversity status of couples were developed following consultations with experts"--Page 1.
