The link to it is now on CF front page, like an advert!

@Dalyesque what’s CF? Apologies for ignorance

Ah, crowdfunded. Got it!!

Crowdfunder website is now down. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Just tried to reach, so am hoping there are loads of people donating and not something sinister. I think this crowdfunder is ok to give the fee, I think it's crowdjustice who misbehaved

Same here.

Back up now, and FPFW still on front page!

I had a few carrots spare in the fridge.

27% and rising! Go vipers!

I'm so glad FPFW exist and are doing this. I use this data professionally. It really, really matters. If the state cannot see us, how can it ensure it does not disadvantage us?

donared.

@Dalyesque

Digging for the principle but wondering how the guidance /forms etc can be changed at this late date. Also given the propensity of some to ignore the rules, data will no doubt be inaccurate in these areas.

I think it could just revert to what it was before which had sex and also gender. Perhaps, the ONS wanted to leave it until the last minute, so as to make things difficult.

I don’t think there’s any doubt. There was a false report (think it was in the Times) a couple of weeks ago that said they were going with sex. Then this announcement at the last minute.

So glad FPFW are reacting so fast. If the ONS (and of course others in the future) think it’s easier to shaft women as we would be less likely to object, then we have do demonstrate loud and clear that massed angry women can object more than a tiny number of hyperbolic transactivists even backed, as they are, by their well-funded institutions such as Stonewall.

Numeration not validation!

Growing steadily with nurturing I see. Donor count is high too. This matters to a lot of people.

I agree with the petition wholeheartedly. But honestly, this part of the census is a free form entry, so I think the real issue is that the quality of the data will be inaccurate. Lots of people like being mischievous, and as with the religion "other" and the remarkable increase in Jedi Knights and Druids, I suspect they will get a lot of bad/rude answers.

29%. Carrots in. Broccoli planted. Just digging a little trench for some fennel. Om-pom-pom!

Thanks for this 🥕
I luffs planting carrots!

34 % of carrotts

Found this wizened carrot down the back of the veg drawer, but it all counts.

Good on them!

I'm far from financially over endowed but I donated to LGB Alliance when they set up and will happily donate to these guys and A Woman's Place all of whom are doing a great job of challenging this shit and reminding everyone sex is a protected characteristic and so is sexuality (no laydees not fancying non females is not transphobic it's called being a lesbian).

Done some digging. Was going to treat us to a cheeky take-away later but this is much more important!

up to 36% carrotts even the wizined carrotts help

I have added my measly donation. Every little helps.

Done some digging. Planted a few carrots. Will be planting more when I get some more seeds.

So there's a campaign against the ONS who has made the sex question less open for interpretation than the last one?

The last one actually missed over 6% of people so I assume this is more "erasure of women" by people saying they are women. Is that how it works? Or is it to stop trans men from being able to say they are not women? The statistical impact is insignificant on the data, it can only be some sort of principle to stop trans men whose legal sex marker is male.
