In case anyone thinks we shouldn't be worried about what might happen, look at the misinformation being spread.
And I have not doubt they will be listened to.
Drawing on publicly accessible materials produced between 2019 and 2025, the study examines campaigns led by groups such as Sex Matters, For Women Scotland and the LGB Alliance. These organisations, the paper argues, have systematically pushed for data practices that erase or misrepresent trans people by insisting that “biological sex” should always be the primary - and often the only - recorded category
Researchers detail how these groups seek to insert trans‑exclusionary talking points into public debate, manufacturing controversy in order to keep restrictive definitions of sex and gender in the media spotlight.
One particularly concerning tactic identified in the study is the deliberate spread of unfounded claims that major UK datasets have been “corrupted” simply because they include trans people. By portraying inclusive data as unreliable, campaigners attempt to undermine confidence in institutions ranging from national statistics bodies to local authorities.
The article argues that these tactics closely mirror the anti‑trans data policies pursued under the Trump administration in the United States, where similar efforts were made to redefine sex narrowly in order to limit recognition of trans people across federal systems.
