THREAD We are delighted to hear that hard copies of The Political Erasure of Sex are reaching intended recipients. It is vital politicians/policy makers base decisions on material reality & evidence. Thank you @JaneClareJones @lnmackenzie1 and @SelinaTodd https://thepoliticalerasureofsex.org/
We are proud to have supported research for this project. We are grateful to all our supporters whose donations have enabled us to print and post this copy and get it into the hands of our political representatives. Thank you to @UniofOx for its support https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/women-and-equalities-law-historical-perspectives-present-issues
But you don’t have to be a politician or a policy maker to read this report. Literally anyone can download it here. It’s not quite the same as a beautiful hard copy, we know, but the information is the same and it is compelling. #SexMatters https://thepoliticalerasureofsex.org/
Policy must be made carefully and inclusively. Sex is a protected characteristic in the Equality Act 2010. Erasing sex and failing to collect sex data must be challenged. Please contact your MP/MSP/MS to check they have received and read the report. https://womansplaceuk.org/2021/02/10/sex-and-the-census-call-to-action/
It is a shame that the importance of collecting sex data and meeting women’s needs does not seem to be understood by govt or other public bodies. This is why we commissioned a legal opinion on guidance given to the Scottish government by EHRC https://womansplaceuk.org/2020/12/11/ehrc-misrepresents-the-law-on-collecting-sex-data/
If you want to read our exchange on this with @EHRC you can read it here. No need to speculate about it on social media or submit a FOI request https://womansplaceuk.org/2021/02/13/wpuk-exchange-with-ehrc-on-sex-data/
Luckily there is a growing movement of women who are committed to putting this right. #Census2021

There is also legal action being pursued by @FairPlayWomen to stop the @ONS redefining sex in #census2021 https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/sexinthecensus2021 #WomenCountSoCountWomen #SexintheCensus

Women are taking action in defence of our hard-won rights. There is nothing hateful about that. There is nothing hateful about us. You can find out more about us here https://womansplaceuk.org/about/ #SexMatters #WomenCountSoCountWomen #SexintheCensus /End.
