Supreme Court rules the term sex refers to 'biological women'

[everythingthelighttouches]

Finally.

There is no “triumph” for me.

i am delighted though.
I feel relief that this reasonable request for clarity has been heard.

The judge also said “the law still gives trans people protection against discrimination.”

As it should do. No one ever argued otherwise.

Have you missed the instances of shoving “ciswoman” “chest feeder” “pregnant person” “uterus haver” down people throats? Not some mad factions either - we are talking public and private bodies and the NHS.

We're talking about you calling YOURSELF a woman.

Finally, clarity in the eyes of the law! A woman is now defined so we can stop dancing around the subject. Common sense prevails!

Finally a sensible ruling that recognises the rights of women are compromised if biology is erased in the application of law. Trans women and men absolutely deserve protection in law as well and this is still upheld by the equality act and rightly so. Surely this must help to clarify so we can move forward in a more positive way from this point. I am very grateful to the supreme court for their level headed and factual approach to this contentious issue. Wonderful news!!

This is a lie.

As usual.

Well I was only happy calling myself woman when I thought it meant my sex. If people wanted to make it mean I accepted and identified with a feminine gender then I wasn’t happy which was tricky in some situations

JFC that’s frightening, they cannot believe this nonsense surely?

Imagine of all the discussions to be had as a result of this ruling, someone honing in on that one post. TTAs think they can win with semantics but they underestimate the intelligence of the women

I'll ask again, who stopped you referring you YOURSELF as a woman?

Ok as we’re being facetious.. imagine you’re lesbian. And society decided that Lesbian actually meant women who have sex with donkeys. Would you still feel comfortable calling yourself a lesbian!? Same difference.. women became a word that included men.. that removes its meaning for many women and absolutely changes how you feel comfortable naming yourself. Which is why so many of us began.l referring to ourselves as female instead.

Trans woman lawyer on channel 4 news, claiming that hormone treatment makes these men female in every cell of their body😳.
Utterly crazy.

What else shouldn’t we be bothered about? The 3 women a week who are murdered in the UK by men? I suppose if you don’t know any of those women why should you care, right?
How about rape? If you’ve never been raped or know any women that have, you don’t need to worry about it do you? And talking about rape, we probably shouldn’t care about the vulnerable women in prison who have been raped by the trans identifying men that have been put in prison with them, in the name of ‘be kind’, should we?
As long as you don’t care, we should all follow suit eh? JFC 🤦‍♀️

@Lostcat
It says clearly here that trans women ARE NOT allowed to use women spaces.

Any excuse to get this out again.

MON THE SUPREMES!

This was the initial comment I made

Nobody ever stopped you calling yourself a woman.

It's not being facetious to point out people are replying to a comment they made up in their heads. But yeah, you bring beastiality into it for...some reason.

This is exactly the kind of wrong analysis I would expect from someone who thinks something is assigned at birth.

That an interesting username you have there.

Still to find one person who can say who stopped her referring to herself as a woman.

‘Othered, siloed and outed’, @Lostcat is continuing to fill up the bingo card with all the usual nonsense. 🤦‍♀️

Maugham on Bluesky (which is observing an official day of mourning, as you'd imagine) : 'I've put on my hob nailed boots and given the Supreme Court decision the kicking it deserves.' He may be speaking figuratively but there is something inherently vicious about these men, and he has form for random violence, of course.

No, but there is absolutely no point in calling yourself a meaningless word.

You think this isn’t an attempt to stop ALL women from being referred to as- including by themselves - as “women”?

I’ve told you, I have. We all have. It’s a bit weird this is your hill to die on though

No, you chose to. Nobody stopped you from calling yourself a woman.

Did you miss the bits about ‘chest feeders’ ‘people with a cervix/uterus’, ‘people who menstruate’, ‘non male people’?
