Census update: yesterday the ONS conceded that its guidance on the census sex question was unlawful (see posts 29 & 31 for background). In other words, FPFW won their case that 'sex' is not 'an umbrella term' but what is recorded on birth certificate or GRC.
Embarrassing for ONS, as some 12m have already completed census returns, and presumably there would have been a fair number of self-IDs, throwing the stats out.
But with the ONS, the Cabinet Office, government legal department, NHS, EHRC already fallen to the lobbyists this won't be the end of it. The corporates, too: Twitter are now banning people who point out the correct legal position.
