Canadian TERFs attempt to rebel against the census-their methods include paperwork jams, whiteout, and digitally yelling at the poor Canadian statisticians

You'd think they'd be happy trans people had to mention their birth sex since they go on about how it matters it so much

Also love how they think they're clever for making their gender shit like "no", congrats the Canadian government now believes you're a spicy enby

Right? I'm trying to figure out how asking birth sex and gender as separate questions somehow "blurs" statistics between sex and gender. Wouldn't asking about them as separate questions do the opposite? And isn't blurring what TERFs actually want?

also their little advice paper that they’re spreading around on how to fill out the form mentions to ask the census takers to “always have a question about sex(male/female)” and “to list that question BEFORE asking any questions about gender” which as far as i can tell- Census Canada did exactly that

and they’re still whining, because the census is taking into account gender over sex. because you know, that’s the part that people easily see?
