Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

BBC claim 'Grover is a self-declared ‘TERF’ - an acronym that stands for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist.” TERFs’ views on gender identity are widely considered to be hostile to trans people.'

it is INFURIATING. Has anyone contacted the BBC to ask where their famous impartiality is in this? it MUST be balanced with "TRANS ideology is widely considered to be hostile to women"

But Justice Robert Bromwich said in his decision on Friday that case law has consistently found sex is “changeable and not necessarily binary”, ultimately dismissing Giggle’s argument

Has it? Is it?
What was their proof that sex is changeable?

'Mr Justice Julian Knowles, High Court Judge: "I have become familiar with the term TERF. It is a derogatory term used by those who seek to deplatform those who hold different views".'

Oh that BBC article boiled my blood. Thanks for highlighting @ArabellaScott

Worth noting that the acronym 'TERF' is highly contentious, generally seen as a slur, and has been recognised as a slur in UK court, more than once.

'"Terf" is a word that is considered to be a slur, Kabir Sondhi, prosecuting, told the court.'

Wow, I'd not heard of this case before. Sall Grover sounds excellent, am gutted that she lost.

“I’m being taken to federal court by a man who claims to be a woman because he wants to use a woman-only space I created,” she posted on X.
“There isn’t a woman in the world who’d have to take me to court to use this woman only space. It takes a man for this case to exist.”
She says she created her app “Giggle for Girls” in 2020 after receiving a lot of social media abuse by men while she worked in Hollywood as a screenwriter.
“I wanted to create a safe, women-only space in the palm of your hand,” she said.
“It is a legal fiction that Tickle is a woman. His birth certificate has been altered from male to female, but he is a biological man, and always will be.”
“We are taking a stand for the safety of all women’s only spaces, but also for basic reality and truth, which the law should reflect.”

She sums up the stupidity perfectly there. Really hope she finds sanity at the high court.

Ridiculous, a man throwing his toys out the pram yet again because there are women who won’t subscribe to his fantasy that he’s a woman. Women deserve safe spaces where men can’t transgress, peep on or abuse them in. Why is that so hard for these men to understand?
