The proposal by Stonewall et al. is not this, it is that a subset of people should be able to answer an entirely different question in the same data field -- this is bad survey design.pic.twitter.com/fAA1MjZRlC

A question in the census should be able to be answered by everyone in the same way. If the sex question is about "lived sex" then we would need guidance on what that means -- what are the criteria for living as a woman or a man? (without reference to biological or legal sex)https://twitter.com/ScottishTrans/status/1174618099989078017 …

If the
@ONS@Census2021 & Scottish census is going to direct some people to answer the question as if it was a different question then they need to provide guidance on the criteria for who the people are who should answer the question differently.Show this thread -
Remember Stonewall's definition of trans is expansive -- it includes identifying as a crossdresser, gender fluid, genderless, agender, non-gender, bi-gender.pic.twitter.com/d2Ye7Nr3ZI

Is this the definition of trans that the
@ONS@SP_European@Census2021 are going to use? Or will they use the protected characteristic of "gender reassignment" from the Equality Act which is less expansive than Stonewall's definition?Show this thread -
Or will they just
and say 'who needs to be a fuddy duddy about clear definitions and guidance, its only the census'pic.twitter.com/cZNzNsLohWShow this thread -
As
@AmandaGosling3 says its perfectly possible to give clear guidance that this is a Q about *sex* & direct people that there is a *different question* if they want to give information about trans status. Because we are all grown ups and this is serious.https://twitter.com/AmandaGosling3/status/1174641762129850369 …Show this thread

Absolutely Maya. I know what my sex is but I’ve got no idea what my “lived sex” is or how I would go about determining it.

Suggest we need both data items. Biological sex observed at birth and recorded, and gender of whatevet nature.
