Fantastic news

Huge congratulations!!! Such important data and crazy that the ONS couldn’t see that.

I have a complaint outstanding with them which I am off to resurrect.

Congratulations to the amazing women of FPFW. And to the judiciary for being an institution finally standing up to this gender identity nonsense.

What happens to all the forms that have already been completed?

Oh, congratulations by the way, fantastic achievement.

Excellent news

Brilliant!
I thought all forms had to be completed in the 21st?

Excellent!! I wonder who’s collecting screenshots of all the people who have said they have answered the sex question according to how they self id?

My guess is that the ONS will have to ask people to re-do them.

It appears this means the sum raised can now pay for other campaigns. Great news.

All forms should be completed on the 21 March, they must be accurate on that date. ONS have updated their guidance :)

I may have a few

You can completed them ahead of 21st as long as you know who will be in your house on that day. I did mine last week. Stupid isn't it. I hope they have changed the form online already. What happens to all the paper copies, will they recall them? What a mess.

Well done FPFW! What an important case to have won. And shame on the ONS for allowing themselves to be captured by an unrepresentative lobby group. Unbelievable that women are having to take to the courts to get our institutions to follow science and facts.

Thank goodness. I needed this news after the Scottish Crime Bill and Johnson's hand-waving fluff on street lights.

I wonder if this ruling will help to get crime recorded accurately now too?

🎉 wonderful news! Very clear statement. I was very angry that women were having to fund this case by crowdfunding (and ONS legal fees as tax payers) so it's great to see this concluded with FPFW awarded costs.

Oh, I filled my paper one in last night, I wonder whether they’ll want me to fill out a different one?

Good work FPFW how embarrassing that anyone had to actually go to court over something so simple though.

What use is the information of its not factually correct.

Great news!!

This is a hugely important issue, and hopefully, this win will be the push needed to sort it out.

Wonderful news. This is really good and Pandora you are a . FPFW thank you so much and to all those who said 'it's only a couple of words' well, it really isn't

You're making me blush @highame

Excellent!

I ordered a paper copy, but does this mean I can now go back to completing it online?

As far as I'm aware @cheeseismydownfall

Wow, that’s fantastic news. Very brave of FPFW to take this on. Congratulation to you, Nic Williams and all women! 🍾💐🥂
