Ensuring that the census recorded accurate sex data was one of our earliest campaigns back in 2017 see this post for details womansplaceuk.org/2020/10/17/wom… #Census2021 #SexInTheCensus #WomenCountSoCountWomen
Here is our correspondence with the National Statistician on #Census2021 womansplaceuk.org/2020/11/10/cor… #WomenCountSoCountWomen #SexNotGender #SexMatters #SexInTheCensus
We recently sought a legal opinion on the advice given to @Scotgov by @EHRC on the collection of sex data. We believe that their advice misrepresents the law and call on them to withdraw it womansplaceuk.org/2020/12/11/ehr… #SexInTheCensus #WomenCountSoCountWomen #SexMatters #SexNotGender
15 organisations launch the #sexandthecensus campaign today to send a message to the ONS that its job is to collect data accurately from everyone - sex matters.

THREAD: SEX AND THE CENSUS: 15 different organisations have come together to launch a joint campaign on #Census2021 The census has always asked “What is your sex”? We believe people should answer the census accurately & honestly. See campaign website sexinthecensus.org /1
We think that this is the best way to collect information needed to understand the population and to plan and fund public services. Counting the number of male & female citizens is vital for the census, & because the census sets standard for other data-collection across society.
The @ONS disagrees. It is planning to tell people they don’t need to answer the census “sex” question with their biological sex. Instead it will direct them to self-identify as male or female, relying on any “legal document” they choose. /3 #SexInTheCensus
THREAD We are delighted to hear that hard copies of The Political Erasure of Sex are reaching intended recipients. It is vital politicians/policy makers base decisions on material reality & evidence. Thank you @janeclarejones @lnmackenzie1 and @SelinaTodd thepoliticalerasureofsex.org
We are proud to have supported research for this project. We are grateful to all our supporters whose donations have enabled us to print and post this copy and get it into the hands of our political representatives. Thank you to @uniofox for its support history.ox.ac.uk/women-and-equa…
But you don’t have to be a politician or a policy maker to read this report. Literally anyone can download it here. It’s not quite the same as a beautiful hard copy, we know, but the information is the same and it is compelling. #SexMatters thepoliticalerasureofsex.org
