What a bunch of numpties. There is an additional question on gender identity, which asks "Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?"

Options are yes or no with a space to write your gender identity. And it's optional to answer of course.

But by lying about the sex question, and then either not filling in the gender identity question or giving a silly answer, they are erasing the number of trans people, and possibly reducing any resources that might be allocated for them.

Talk about an own-goal.

As someone said "enjoy your erasure". Not sure they'd thought that through.

Yes, that's why I refuse to call them TRAs; they're not interested in rights.

I had fun just now Tweeting the personal account @KathrynBristow as follows:

"But you are not female. It is biologically impossible to change sex and you have stated on this T a/c that you do not hold a GNC. You are therefore giving false information. @ONS

Would you please like to investigate? This is exactly the situation which GC feminists foresaw."

I await another suspension.... OR not. I don't see how interpreting correctly information which has been provided can constitute any kind of offence?!

As if it costs anything for two boxes to go on a form. Does anyone else just feel vaguely dirty after reading and viewing their male sexist filth? That abuse and erasure of women in another form has reached the top echelons of our institutions is so shocking it’s hard to fathom but simply proves how little good sense there is there and how disrespected and disregarded women as a class really are. As if we needed to absorb even more neglect and vicious abuse to prove it. At least in the UK it’s been caught after more effort women can ill afford at the very last minute. Another battle women simply shouldn’t have had to fight if the powers that be represented us, as 51 percent of the population, at all. A male sexist sexual delusion and fantasy can get further than women’s basic human and legal rights without a single impediment in the way to stop it. Tragic inditement on Governments enabling this ideology everywhere. Some things need to be stopped for all our safety and well-being.

I really hope Fair Play for Women have seen these tweets so they can have them presented to court

Just read on Mumsnet the courts have decided the sex question must be answered accurately. Don't lose those screenshots! 😁

' Kathryn Bristow describes himself as a “Polyam ace pan enby woman” '

Think I pulled a muscle rolling my eyes too hard after reading his self-description. Kudos on the number of contradictions he managed in one short statement though.

The head of the ONS was less than honest when discussing the census on Marr this morning:
