To think that this week, as court decides what the legal definition of a woman is, that the Scottish Government (and others) aren't fit for purpose?

[WandsOut]

The meaning of what a woman is, is supposedly being hammered out in court this week.
How many of you know we are being reclassified this week?

"If the Supreme Court rules that a man can become a woman because he declares it to be so - and vice versa - then the sex-based protections provided by the Equality Act will become meaningless.
After all, how does one protect - or even begin to consider - the rights of women if to be a woman is nothing more than a feeling?"

YANBU - To think that this week, as court decides what the legal definition of a woman is, that the Scottish Government aren't fit for purpose and neither is anyone else in senior positions who can't understand why biology is important.

YABU - Gender identity is more important than the sex based rights of women. Woman is an idea and anyone can identify as one.

I'll watch this later - thankyou 😊

Parkrun used to (do they still?) get money from Sport England with the specific intent of increasing women's participation in sport.

TBH Parkrun need to get over themselves and either: just give everybody a time and just publish them in alphabetical order (or only inform the individual runner) or admit they are allowing men into the women's category (since i assume they are not checking GRC/Birth certificate status). And then we can all stop pretending it's OK / Not OK (delete as applicable according to your views)

The Scottish government is entirely unfit for purpose. Would love Holyrood to be disbanded. The money wasted on this glorified town council could be repurposed to actual deal with the real issues Scotland faces.

You are perfectly correct, and not BU at all.

And all the time through all of this the ironic thing is NO ONE ACTUALLY BELIEVES MEN CAN BECOME WOMEN.

Not one of the people making this judgement believe a man can become a woman. And yet they are deliberating it, sleeping on it, pondering it.

This gender nonsense is now making the law lie.
Swear on oath?
Lies.

"Two things stood out as I followed the case on day two: that women (in Scotland in particular), were being gaslit by the Scottish government; and lesbians were, in effect, being told by the Scottish government that they were no longer protected in law according to their sexual orientation. By virtue of a legal piece of paper, it was argued, a “heterosexual male” could become a lesbian woman overnight. These were the words of Scottish government lawyers."

Last night husband and I watched Life of Brian.... Stan wanting to be Loretta is a clip that we thought just about sums up the madness today.

A recent payslip i received had a public notice attached, encouraging "people with a cervix" to ensure they have regular smear tests. So now I'm a person with a cervix and not a woman.... 😶
