Cllr Gareth KitchenConservative shadow technology minister Ben Spencer has tabled an amendment to the government’s Data Bill which would make public bodies collect data based on sex at birth rather than their gender identity. Green Party MP Sian Berry told HuffPost UK: “Trans rights need to be defended by everyone right now, especially those with the power to make new laws. This deeply disturbing amendment would be a gross violation of trans people’s right to privacy, risking a mass outing of trans people across the UK. If passed, it would dangerously increase the risk of harassment and abuse already faced by this minority community." <br><br><a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tories-accused-of-dystopian-attack-on-trans-community_uk_681a0f9fe4b035302f245a44" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tories-accused-of-dystopian-attack-on-trans-community_uk_681a0f9fe4b035302f245a44</a><br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/ukpol" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukpol</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/greenparty" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenParty</a>
