Just seen this on twitter. Sorry do not have share token.
Sanity prevails I hope.

Thank you for the share token.

The framing of that article is off, asking a question about sex is not anti-trans. Hmm

Still, I am relieved about this. Sanity prevails. So much pushback needed by so many on what should have been a straightforward question.

Thanks. That's a much more sensible approach.

I still think people shouldn't be able to change their legal sex, but at least it's not just a free for all.

It's a shame that article spins it as "a blow to trans rights".

I don't agree, it's a win for truth and we need to be able to analyse data by sex.

Is the gender identity question still included?

Oh that's a relief. Have just been gathering info ready for a letter to my MP so that will save me some time .... for now. Still need to let him know my views but that was one of the most urgent issues.

Thank goodness. I was actually worrying about that this week (well I added it to my list of things to worry about)
