I hadn't seen this Gender Identity Report survey thing until this morning. The survey questions - Appendix 1 - are absolutely risibly terrible. http://democracy.cityoflondon.gov.uk/documents/s113794/2019.04%20Gender%20Identity%20Report.pdf …
Qu 4. Where access to particular services or facilities are restricted by gender, the City Corphas it in mind the restriction should relate to the gender with which the service user consistently identifies now, regardless of whether that is the gender they were assigned at birth.

Oh for God's sake, that question is ridiculously hard to parse. People are just going to respond "Agree" because they lose the will to live reading it.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Qu 5: The City Corp proposes not asking service users to provide ‘proof’ of their gender identity at single gender services & facilities but would rely on each service user to self-identify their gender. Or to put it another way - are you ok with abolishing single sex services?

Okay, I've got bored. But note how an "Agree" answer *always* supports the same conclusion. That's not how you do it with a survey. You reverse stuff around. People enter into a trance like state responding to these things, and just tick "Agree" each time.

I guess I should say that while it's possible a well designed survey would generate the same responses, given that number of responses that were discarded, I'd say this would be unlikely.

The survey was either designed by idiots or it's a cynical exercise designed to get to a particular outcome. The City of London Corporation ought to be held accountable.

One final thing. There's another more subtle thing about how the questions are biased. It's phrased in such a way that it seems that if you disagree then you're a bad person. There's a kind of moral pressure through the phrasing of the questions.
