RT @lnmackenzie1: "Sex remains a key determinant of outcomes across the full spectrum of public policy areas. Information on gender identities is also welcome, but can only be properly understood in combination with data on sex."/
RT @lnmackenzie1: The academics write: "Two of the UK’s most senior governmental statisticians have signalled their intent to abandon the principle of collecting data on biological sex, in favour of data on subjectively defined gender identity."/
RT @lnmackenzie1: As a result, the UK is now at a serious risk of losing the capacity to gather data that, for decades, has provided the building blocks for policy-makers and researchers to monitor and tackle discrimination based on sex. ...
