Open Rights GroupThe amendment to the UK Data Bill could force "sex at birth" to be used over gender recognition documents in public databases.This would potentially lead to the erasure of trans people's data and vital documents, such as medical records, resulting in the denial of important gender-based procedures.<a href="https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/05/why-you-should-be-worried-about-the-uk-data-bill-amendment/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/05/why-you-should-be-worried-about-the-uk-data-bill-amendment/</a><a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/dataprotection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dataprotection</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/gdpr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gdpr</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/DataBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataBill</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/DUABill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DUABill</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#data</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/dataprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dataprivacy</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/ukpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ukpolitics</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/ukpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ukpol</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trans</a>

Open Rights GroupThe UK Data Bill has gone back to Parliament over an amendment for public bodies to record people's “sex at birth”.This would forcibly out trans people, exposing them to discrimination in data-driven decisions.It's data protection law without the protection.<a href="https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/data-bill-first-they-came-for-trans-people/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/data-bill-first-they-came-for-trans-people/</a><a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/dataprotection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dataprotection</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/gdpr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gdpr</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/DataBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataBill</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/DUABill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DUABill</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#data</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/dataprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dataprivacy</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/ukpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ukpolitics</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/ukpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ukpol</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/transrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transrights</a>

Christie Elan-Cane<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DataBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataBill</a> MPs overwhelmingly reject amendment to require public authorities to record birth sex in all instances. Amendment was tabled at behest of known anti-trans hate group. Shameful this was even debated.<a href="https://www.wiltsglosstandard.co.uk/news/national/25146199.mps-reject-bid-force-authorities-record-sex-data-biological-basis/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wiltsglosstandard.co.uk/news/national/25146199.mps-reject-bid-force-authorities-record-sex-data-biological-basis/</a>

Jim KillockI can completely understand the creative industries interest in <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> but the complete dominance of this issue in the UK <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/databill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#databill</a> debates is really disheartening: it is precluding serious debate of the actual contents of the Bill, which are deeply concerning and hardly irrelevant, or to be brushed aside.
