To think it might be useful to know how many men and women we have in this country?

[busyboysmum]

The UK is to become one of the first countries in the world not to require its citizens to let officialdom know what sex they are.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is proposing to make the sex question in the next census voluntary, after protests that it discriminates against transgender and other non-binary people.

AIBU to think that we need to know how many men and women there are in society - how on earth can we plan for health services like maternity services, cancers such as prostrate and cervical cancers etc if there isn't even a base line figure for the number of men and women in the country?

Thank you for the link busyboysmum. Excellent to see the campaign is gathering steam.

At last people are feeling able to talk about these issues and they are being discussed in mainstream press. The more talking we do the more the general public see through the nonsense for what it is.
