Tessa, yes, when applied to those born in this country. What about the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have settled here with their families and extended families joining them? and more coming in every day. There has to be a way of knowing the balance between male and female being mandatory information and the Census is the only way to do this. Otherwise it is just storing up big problems for future social services.Re: Taking the Sex out of the Census.

Re: Taking the Sex out of the Census.
It would seem that some parents have registered their new babies as "gender unknown" or "gender unspecified", the idea being that the child can pick it's own sex at a later date. I don't care what sex any adult wants to call him/herself, but I do think it's very wrong to push small children into being "gender neutral", or suggesting sex changes at 3 and 4 years old. Many small children like to "dress up", girls like to play with toys traditionally meant for boys, boys like to play with toys traditionally meant for girls, but the almost always grow out of it. The world truly has gone crazy.
