nged” how it viewed sex in terms of data collection and recommended that the UK Statistics Authority — which oversees the ONS — should consider launching a review of activism and impartiality within the civil service in relation to the production of official statistics….
Sullivan said: “This should not be seen as a zero-sum game between characteristics. We can and should collect data on both [sex and gender identity]. Acknowledging sex does not erase gender identity or vice versa.”
*Sigh*. There is no such thing as gender identity. It's nonsense. It's cult-speak.
Sex can be recorded differently across the prison service, while many police forces record sex as the gender given in a gender recognition certificate.
The review said it meant that data across police forces was not reliable, particularly in patterns of female offending and “the classification of a small number of males within the female category may result in artificial significant increase in female offending rates”.
Yes, we had noticed. See under "not our crimes", ad nauseam. Isla Bryson, Karen White….the list goes on and on.
Maya Forstater, chief executive of the charity Sex Matters, said the review was “devastatingly clear about the harms caused by carelessness with sex data and a decade-long failure of the civil service to maintain impartiality and uphold data standards”.
