@testingmitb

Does he mean sex as in the person's biological sex?
I think he means legal sex either birth cert or GRC. But not passport as those documents don’t record sex, but gender identity. (Which is really all a GRC does, but is legally recognised.)

Judge: Any person looking at the form will likely realise that the sex question is not a question about gender identity

I might add - any reasonable person

Staff training????? who'll be doing that??? Stonewall?

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 09/03/2021 14:31

My understanding is that it will be birth certificate or GRC. No self ID.

@ItsAllGoingToBeFine

Judge: I do not agree that any staff training required to use changed guidance would be difficult /71
Was this a defence argument?

Oh my God, the census is probably lost at this stage but we actually have a legal definition of sex Shock and it's what we always thought it was {shock] Shock Shock

Even if this census still ends up being a mess we have some legal clarification now around sex.

YEs!

Judge: Entire removal of the sentence in the Guidance is unnecessary. Simply necessary to remove reference to documents that do not contain sex. /70
