I dont know exactly hwat Bespin had done but can I jsut ask that you pelase remain tolerant of people with terrible typing, ie like me!?!
My brain does logic and reasoning well, but not memory and typing and written expression (health condition) so I really struggle to post eloquently and keep up but I think I have the occasional useful thing to say and have no on ein RL to discuss with in this way.
So, anyway, i found this earlier when I was researching the reporting of crime and recording trans status, sex vs gender etc, in this document www.gov.uk/government/statistics/women-and-the-criminal-justice-system-statistics-2015
It is a bit out of date I know but I was looking at trends of rises in crime etc.
it only mentions categorisation by gender, not sex, but uses the words male and female, and transgender is mentioned only once in the whole document to say 4 transgender results (out of thousands of bits of data) were excluded. No mention of trans in any other way,
it also says this:
Section 95 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 states that:
“The Secretary of State shall in each year publish such information as he considers expedient for the purpose of facilitating the performance of those engaged in the administration of justice to avoid discriminating against any persons on the ground of race or sex or any other improper ground.”
Clearly the Sec State does not consider it expediant to know or understand the biological sex of criminals and victims, only their gender. Is this discriminatory against the protected characteristic of sex in some way? that is it ignored and not counted seperately? or am I cluthing at straws!!
