The point is not that we should never use 'gender' as a synonym for sex, but we should be careful and clear that that is what we are doing. And organisations that stand for women's rights must not allow it to become impossible to say that women = adult human females
It is clear that to make (and measure) progress against the SDG "gender goals" we need *sex* desegregated data.pic.twitter.com/AX2Y9Nu1SQ
But (for example in the UK) the @ons @Census2021 & @SP_European are considering whether it is possible to state clearly in its guidance that the "sex" question in the census means whether you are male or female!
And the @ESS_Survey thinks that asking an interviewer to record someone's sex straightforwardly without asking them to self identify as male, female or "other" (what other?) is not "sustainable or ethical"pic.twitter.com/ZEWMf75gZj
"TERFwars" may seem like a toxic storm-in-a-teacup so best to steer clear, but serious organisations are tying themselves in knots pretending they don't know what women are. This will not be good for women.
