"the UK government, researchers, funders and public bodies need to recognise this Trumpian intervention for what it is: an attempt to erase trans and non-binary people from existing in data.”
This is real 'up is down' stuff. The scientific need is to reveal people's sex and, if relevant to the topic, trans status, medical history, etc. Trans lobby wants to erase its own existence by pretending they've always been at war with Eastasia the sex they claim to be. And yes, they will lie, if someone doesn't stop them. You can do it, Wes!
