Criminals' Gender Choice

In the UK, Labour rejects police recording biological sex, letting offenders declare their own gender. An independent review advocated for police in England and Wales to document biological sex instead of self-declared gender identity, citing risks to public safety and data integrity if they don't. Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary, faces pressure to implement these changes, but the government has not committed, only stating the report will be considered. Critics say conflating sex and gender damages policy-making, with significant risks especially to children and crime records.
