"the definition issue"
just wondering, but I understood that the definition of "woman" that the UKSC bruteforced into being (but held to be self-explanatory so didn't actually explain anywhere) is specific to the EqA 2010 ... is everyone assuming that the scope is wider?

Iβd have to revisit to understand fully. But stuff like Cass recommending not being able to change NHS number seemed born of frustration that data linkage was technically difficult (and there was palpable rage in the Cass Report that ethics considerations got in her way).

I think the main goal of this research is to manufacture stats on detransition (given they couldnβt find a significant number in the data Cass could access). Likely they will define detransition retrospectively to inflate numbers.
