Hi - long time lurker definitely radicalised by this forum 😁

Not posted before but felt this was worth highlighting. Every 2 years the Solicitor’s Regulation Authority require all solicitor’s firms to ask their to complete a Diversity Questionnaire, and report back their diversity data.

In 2019, the questions were

  • what gender do you identify with?
  • do you consider your gender identity to be different from your registered sex at birth

The new questions this year are:

  • What is your sex? (Options of male, female, other preferred description , prefer not to say)
  • is the gender you identify with the same as your sex at birth?

Small changes I know but important! Apparently the changes have been specifically made as a result of “considering the research undertaken by the ONS in preparation for the 2021 census and listening to a range of voices on the matter”

Push......

Thank you for the information! Really good to hear about another success.

Good news.

Good news, a step in the right direction at least! (at last!)

@Apileofballyhoo - stuck with “prefer not to say” there unfortunately

@Seventrees- agreed! But at least they’re asking for your sex this time...

yes it's back to reality. Like Still says, they must have paid attention to the ONS court findings

That is great. The capture of the legal profession worries me even more than Medicine going full Kool-Aid.

Apileofballyhoo · 07/05/2021 14:54

What if you don't identify with a gender though? It is a big improvement to have a straightforward what is your sex question though.

StillFemale · 07/05/2021 14:48

Good news, another reason it was worth women speaking up and raising money for the legal challenge to ONS at the time

Seventrees · 07/05/2021 14:45

Good news. Still needs to move a bit further, to a choice of 2 sexes.
