UK to Ban 'Sex' Question on Census to Not Offend Trans, Nonbinary Citizens; Feminists Outraged
Christian Post ^ | 10/09/2017 | Anugrah Kumar

Posted on 10/09/2017 8:57:49 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The Office for National Statistics in the United Kingdom has proposed that citizens should not be required to mention their gender in the next census so that transgender and other non-binary people do not feel discriminated against.

The country is scheduled to hold the next national survey, which takes place every 10 years, in 2021, and if the ONS has its way, the citizens would be allowed to choose not to state their sex, The Times reports.

The choice of male or female is "considered to be irrelevant, unacceptable and intrusive, particularly to trans participants, due to asking about sex rather than gender," the ONS said in a recent report.

The report suggested that the question "should not be mandatory, for the benefit of particularly intersex and non-binary people who cannot choose male or female as a reflection of their current sex or gender."

Some feminists are opposing the proposal as they believe it could be a means to remove all mention of the biological female sex.

"I'm sick and tired of this," writer and academic Germaine Greer was quoted as saying. "We keep arguing that women have won everything they need to win. They haven't even won the right to exist."

"Women's biological sex is being erased and that terrifies me," feminist activist Stephanie Davies-Arai was quoted as saying. "Once you stop gathering information, that skews everything for women."

At least 150 schools in Britain now have "gender neutral uniforms," meaning students can decide if they want to wear skirts or trousers, irrespective of their biological sex, according to recent reports, according to the Mail.

A future the feminazis wanted.

Only we still are not under Marxism and they are not in complete control.

Not just here but in sports. “Trans” (aka fake) are pushing women out of sports.

Female or Other, that’s all we’ll get.

June 4, 1940: “We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”

October 9, 2017: “We shall not upset the mentally deranged.”

How about "Male", "Female", and put the confused idiots in mental institutions?

How about two boxes that each can contain one letter.

The second box you can enter “X” or “Y”.

The first box is pre-filled with an “X”.

There is only one way to settle this. The trans folks and the feminists will have to fight it out.

Sex?: Sure, under the right circumstances.

“As often as possible” should be one choice.

Yes. And in the very strict hierarchy of the left, there isn’t a damn thing women can do about it. Anyway, it should all work out for the leftist scheme of things because the very highest of the top diversity groups is male Arab rapists. And since they probably aren’t interested in trans, this will give the women a proper place in the hierarchy.

Future generatIons will shake their head at the obvious insanity that has taken over the West’s “intellectual” class.
