"In other words, Professor Michael Briggs believes he can identify trans people on sight, doesn't see trans people when he walks down the street, therefore they don't exist"

  “It’s eminently clear that this is not a huge hub of trans life,” says Prof Michael Biggs of the borough he calls home, Brent in northwest London. “The idea when I walk down the street there that over 1 per cent of the population are trans doesn’t make any sense.”
  
  Yet the Office for National Statistics (ONS) had recorded the area as having the second highest proportion of transgender people in the UK – 1.3 per cent. “I live in Brent and obviously it is not the place with the second most trans people in Britain,” he adds. “That’s ludicrous.”
  
  Biggs not being able to reconcile the data with the reality of everyday life has led – after a long-running campaign, which has come at some personal cost – to the ONS admitting it may have overestimated the number of trans people in the UK."
