A thread to gather politicians' responses to yesterday's Supreme Court judgement.

  1. Stella Creasy. She's rather unhelpfully posted a pdf, (and turned off replies), so archive below.

I read in the DT just now that a lawyer specialising education law (new one on me) said they'll be seeking clarity on 'trans kids' wanting to go to the opposite sex school, so girl wants to be a boy and applies to an all boys' school. They say the legal position is not clear and if she's rejected on the ground of sex, she could go after the school on 'gender reassignment' grounds.

I read it too late at night, it made my brain hurt and I probably misunderstood bits. But it sounds wrong to me. Anyone know?

Yes it's wrong, she's not being rejected because of gender reassignment, she's being rejected because of sex.

That's the whole point of single sex provision. You're allowed to discriminate on the basis of sex, under certain circumstances. And single sex schools is one of them.

If they took girls, but not her, because she identified as trans, then that would be correct, but it's not the reason. They don't take any girls

I don't see how that would work as the comparator would be someone of the same sex without the protected characteristic.

An all boys school would deny both on the basis of their sex. That one has the gender identity of a boy makes no difference.

But I'm not a specialist education lawyer (or any sort of lawyer)

Having now watched a fair amount of msm have changed from being in celebratory mood to being something akin to a raging Medusa seeing the continuing and increasing woman hatred exposed everywhere, this thread has not helped…apart from JKR and Rosy Duffield of course.

Take heart from Brenden

It’s the sound of men being stripped of their entitlements by women who’ve had enough of their crap, and I am so here for it.

It’s been a 24-hour temper tantrum, the hissy fit heard round the world. And I’m loving it.

For while this noisy orgy of self-pity might doll itself up as a cry for civil rights, in truth it’s the death rattle of trans activism’s neo-misogyny. They know the jig is up, or very nearly up.

The sight of angry men bashing their keyboards in fury at the uppity bitches who went to the Supreme Court has exposed the truth about the trans lobby – it’s a men’s rights movement in drag.

Imagine expressing "disappointment" that the Supreme Court has clarified that women have rights and trans people have rights, and that one category doesn't supersede the other.

Imagine expressing ‘disappointment’ that the Supreme Court have ruled women are female 😳

I wonder what part of the law this muppet finds unclear?

with you Datun funniest appraisal thus far

Very clever too

That’s why men are angry – because women are revolting. It’s a story as old as time.

It's the unerringly delivered coarseness that appeals to me.

‘I have always been a woman’, he said. Tell that to the jizz you sired your kid with’

‘You will never stop me accessing female spaces. It is my right to use them’, says one. Not anymore it isn’t, you prick’

‘When women withdraw their consent from this post-truth shitshow and say ‘NO’, the lie of their identity starts to crumble. That’s why men are angry – because women are revolting. It’s a story as old as time.’

Nothing from Kier Starmer on this landmark ruling by the Supreme Court against one of our Nation Governments. But never fear - he’s all over the potholes

God, that's shameful

Has Keir Starmer still not commented ? Local elections coming up, ignore 51% of the population or state that a tiny percentage haven't lost any rights due to this judgement ?

He can’t speak on the issue. If he says he’s pleased for women he looks like a backsliding fool; if he says he’s worried for pretendy women he just looks like a fool, full stop.

One thing you can say for India Willoughby and the rest of the trans mob is that at least they’re consistently stupid and objectionable on the subject.

To be fair, the maths he’s having to do to work out the number of penises that women have now is probably taking him a while.

I'm finding his tweet funnier than it actually is, I think I'm amused by the desperation.

Why is he always so eager to offer up evidence that he's the son of a fool maker?

I do not much like Badenoch for lots of things she says BUT i am certain that on the subject of gender she is sincere and passionate and not choosing a side for political gain. And for that i applaud her.
