Good news - gardening in order.

Also there is an interesting comment on the GRA:If we lose and the court declares that a GRC changes a police officer’s sex for the purpose of searching members of the public, this would strengthen the case for repealing or reforming the Gender Recognition Act."

And it's good to see this bit bringing awareness of the fetish that is autogynephila to a wider audience: "The High Court will be asked not just to look at the meaning of words in law, but to consider the concrete facts relevant to the case, including the facts of autogynephilia; the way systemic weaknesses tend to act as magnets for abusers; the impossibility of “passing” for most men who identify as women; and the abusive nature of deceit as to sex where intimate procedures or searching are concerned."

'Chris Philp, then policing minister, said transgender officers should be stopped from conducting strip-searches on suspects of the opposite sex unless they had changed their legal gender.
Sex Matters penned a letter before claim, also known as a letter before action, as opposition mounted over the BTP policy.
But the force doubled down, rejecting the claim that the guidance “exposes women to a particular risk of behaviour”.
The force wrote: “As has been outlined previously, Parliament has imposed stringent safeguards in respect of the ability of an individual to obtain a GRC. It is not enough simply that a man identifies themselves as a female to obtain one.”'

'Stringent safeguards' my fat arse.

Great specific points you pulled out there, thank you!

it’s been my belief for a long time that if the general public heard and had the word autogynephile explained to them, this would end the trans movement the same weekend. Please please please let this unravelling of GI continue.
