I've just seen a draft document for public sector in Scotland which is proposing common definitions for the Equality information we collect about employees. They are suggesting we do away with "sex" as a category and instead are to collect information re what gender we identify as. I am so angry! It's ridiculous, I've commented that sex is the legally protected characteristic not gender identity. But grrrrrrrr!

I'm reminded of the cartoon of men sitting round a board table saying "it would be really helpful if some of you can identify as women"

What they will essentially do is say that anyone who identified with the female gender is a woman. Which is just wrong!!

They do so if you get rid of sex as a category then you can erase women and pretend their concerns don't exist

I thought larger companies have to report the average pay for women and for men? Or was that a one off?

And the really fucking annoying thing is that there is a separate question re trans identification!

There goes the necessary background information to bring equal pay claims, then. Fuckers. Agreed. And the ability to look at sex representation on boards and senior positions. Get a couple of penis folk to identify as female whilst keeping their male name, male presentation, male attire, male contact information, male everything. As long as they can say they has feels then who needs to have actually vagina folk on board.

Brilliant (not). There goes the necessary background information to bring equal pay claims, then. Fuckers.

I wonder how they are going to report the difference in pay between men and women if they don't ask for the sex of their employees?
