Review finds ‘sex’ replaced by ‘gender’ in health and crimes records
Cancer screenings are being missed and crimes misrecorded because official statistics are ‘corrupted’ by extreme gender ideology, a review warned last night.
A government-commissioned report found that biological sex had been erased from official data in the police, NHS and even the military.
Fuelled by activism from within, official bodies have replaced sex with ‘gender identity’, putting patients and the public at risk, the independent review found. The merging of sex and gender had become ‘widespread’ in records over the past decade, it warned.
Women’s rights campaigners called on the Government to act on Wednesday.
Maya Forstater, chief executive of Sex Matters, said: ‘The problems are everywhere, from NHS records that do not record biological sex to police forces that record male sex offenders as women.
‘These corrupted data standards have been set by bureaucrats insulated from the impact of their decisions, and competing for Stonewall awards.
‘The Government should swiftly implement the recommendations of the review.’
The review by Professor Alice Sullivan, from University College London, found that from 2015, public bodies began collecting information on gender identity rather than biological sex, meaning ‘robust and accurate data’ was lost.
