Our world & our country runs on data – we need to know we can trust it. Data sets & data visualizations @ONS provide will inform decision makers, affecting every facets of our lives.

Women! Pay attention! The @ONS guidance will make widely acceptable that biological sex becomes in reality, a voluntary question for #Census2021 . This will render useless equal opportunities monitoring designed to combat sex discrimination. #BoycottTheCensus
If the law can't see sex, the law can't address sex-based inequities. The law can pretend sex = gender identity, but reality won't play along. Sex will *still* matter. What's at issue is whether the law will be able to address sex—or not. #BoycottTheCensus #Census2021
We can't self ID our way out of an unintended pregnancy/ around abortion. When Black Women face high rates of maternal mortality, fibroids, the relevant intersections are race/ethnicity, immigration status, socioeconomic status & SEX—not Gender ID

Many people don’t seem to be aware about all the many ways in which Public bodies and Quangos are breaching UK sovereign law designed to protect women. Women need robust data on SEX in order to access their legal rights under the Equality Act. #BoycottTheCensus #Census2021
Where @ONS leads, other gullible Quangos follow, e.g., criminal justice statistics no longer provide reliable data by sex, including for sexual and violent offences, where there is a well-established large difference in behaviour by sex. #BoycottTheCensus #Census2021
This has been done without wider discussion or consultation regarding the implications for the usefulness of this data in informing policy intervention or public understanding. #BoycottTheCensus #Census2021 https://twitter.com/MsGiveZeroFox/status/1349319703517409280?s=20
When even a corrupt country like Uganda that just ushered in a President who’s been there since 1986, know the importance of collecting sex aggregated data, but our own @ONS don’t, we have a big problem with #Census2021 #BoycottTheCensus https://twitter.com/MsGiveZeroFox/status/1349324070597308416?s=20
@UNWomenUK pointed out, “Addressing these gender data gaps is a prerequisite for understanding the situation of women & girls in United Kingdom and Northern Ireland & for achieving the gender-related SDGs commitments.” #BoycottTheCensus #Census2021 https://twitter.com/MsGiveZeroFox/status/1349325103847395329?s=20
Even the beloved Guardian is pointing out there are clear SEX disparities in the outcomes of COVID treatments.

“Women aren’t just small Men”

SEX is VERY relevant for planned democracies to plan for:
- the likely number of number of pregnancies and therefore how much money to invest in maternity services
- likely number of prostate cancer patients and how to allocate resources

If you helped #BoycottTheCensus trend 👍🏾, now write to your MP’s, ccing Liz Truss & @ONS, highlighting just 3 concerns from this thread. #Census2021 may still be salvageable! https://twitter.com/MsGiveZeroFox/status/1360596006585438216?s=20
And for every fool who has called Women “right wing loons” or that infamous gendered slur, TERF, today, remember, Academics & statisticians tried having civil conversations re: #Census2021 & were no platformed in favour of TRA’s.
