TODAY: @ONS must defend its decision to redefine the meaning of sex in the #Census2021 in the high court.

Follow #FPFWvONS for live twitter updates throughout the day. Proceedings start 10am Tuesday 9th March /1
This legal challenge is necessary because @ONS published unlawful Guidance to accompany the question "What is your sex?" on the #Census2021.

The ONS expanded the definition of sex to include self-declared gender identity. This means accurate data on birth sex gets lost /2
The Guidance was published on 12th February. Just 10 days before @ONS was due to start accepting census returns and just 5 weeks before Census Day on 21st March 2021.

We started legal proceedings within 7 days and just 27 days after publication @ONS are in the high court /3
