A good thread by @t0nyyates, summing up why gender identity policies need serious scrutiny. I've been surprised by how few economists have come out on this w their usual standard of robustness @EvaPoen @AmandaGosling3https://twitter.com/t0nyyates/status/1144928006743429120 …

It’s disappointing, I agree. My impression is that many economists are either unaware of the debate; believe it doesn’t affect their work (small numbers etc), or are staying away for fear of offending students & colleagues. It needs to change.
Yes, for many it doesn't affect their work directly (altho I bet when they use 'gender disaggregated' data they understand it means sex). But it affects integrity of research institutions & policy debate - in which they have a stake. I hope more stand up. I'm beyond disappointed.

I work in a very niche area of law which is entirely dependent upon institutional sex discrimination against women . It has over the last 10 (or so years) made up the biggest proportion of the ET’s claims. It no longer collects sex disaggregated data. Only gender.

I don’t presume the gender of my clients. I can’t enter their sex. Just spoken to my regulatory body which has also changed its data capture from sex to gender. Lots of mismatch between their old data on sex and new data on gender. Almost as tho they are 2 different things...
