@AskNic "what the Scottish Government is doing is muddling up sex and gender identity. It's unnecessary to do that and its also unlawful" /2
"The Scottish Government is trying to erase sex by muddling it up with gender identity and that really matters. While sexism still exists in society, sex matters. We need to be able to count it, to talk about it and to have policy based on it" /3
"trans lobby groups have said they want both questions to be about gender identity and that means we lose valuable data about sex. Sex matters too" /4
"Scot Gov floated some astonishing arguments. Apparently social attitudes in Scotland have changed so much that its impossible to know what the correct answer to the sex question should be. That answer could change from day to day & there could be more than one correct answer" /5
