Any chance of the Guardian reporting this actual national scandal?

😆😆😆

Unfortunately, MN hasn't got cold, bitter laugh emoji.

Some corking comments if you can see them. This is a good one

This is tantamount to tampering with public records (without the legal authority to do so) and should be a crime. A few prosecutions should do the trick (and I'd start with Stonewall followed rapidly by those civil servants, including NHS management and medics, who allowed it).

The comments under the Times & Telegraph articles are a mix of enraged and despairing that society has had this fuckwittery foisted on it.

How many years have we pointed out that failing to collect data on sex was massively problematic

I mean it’s good to see it recognised but FFS!

Thank you for the share.

Women's accurate data and all it's benefits to women, confused and lost to soothe the egos of men. Sexism on steroids.

It's good that the report flags that it's also detrimental to people who claim to be trans, particularly in health care.

It'll surely make it harder for so-called allies to dismiss it.

I would question whether gender identity data needs to be collected at all. If it isn't replacing sex, which it can't, why does anyone need to know? What relevance does it have to anything or anyone else, and how do you know whether it's accurate or not? Unless the purpose of the data is to find out how many people do claim an identity at a particular point in time (eg in the census), so as to see if the number increases or decreases over time, why bother?

In a health care setting, the important information is whether a person is taking cross-sex hormones or has had surgery, and asking for GI doesn't tell you that.

The police and the education system should only concern themselves with sex anyway.

Very helpful overview of the destruction of the value of accurate data.

I doubt any of us are surprised, but glad to see it evidenced so clearly.

Very welcome article. Wilfully skewing your own data so as not to upset a tiny minority of the population is never a good idea.
