I am glad we have confirmation that it is perfectly fine, under Article 8 of Human Rights Act, to ask someone what their sex is.

The guidance is wrong! He said it!!

Judge: This meaning is not the sex someone has identified. I am satisfied that the guidance is wrong. It does not match the question being asked. /68

I've given up trying to work, this is far more important

Ohhohhhh!!! I'm wetting myself here!

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 09/03/2021 14:25

The tea I'm drinking isn't strong enough for all this!! 😬

I am more hopeful. I think he is saying that the ONS should ask for sex. It’s not a breach of a trans persons human rights.

I've got a meeting in 5 minutes, COME ON!

Thank you again to all involved in this.💐

I think it’s sounding good.

Judge: "I do not doubt that the ONS has the power to publish guidance on the census questionnaire. It is expedient for its functions. However, if guidance is given it must match with the meaning permitted by the act." /67

udge: ONS said definition of sex is a matter for it to decide. The Census act does not prescribe this. "ONS is not the arbiter of what the particulars mean". /66

This is good, no? JCJ: "This refers to ONS claiming that asking for sex would be a breach of Article 8 rights. The judge says it wouldn't."
