Fantastic article in Newsweek!
As NW is a major American magazine, and since America is so very woke -- I would say this is a dazzling ray of sunlight.

To test this argument, imagine another case—one in which a defendant is charged with having impersonated a police officer. Imagine the judge in such a case instructed the prosecution to refer to the defendant as "Officer O'Malley," out of courtesy, merely because that's what the defendant claimed he was. The entire issue in dispute is whether the defendant was impersonating an officer—or whether he really was one and entitled to be treated as such. It isn't hard to see why such judicial instruction would prejudicially determine the legal outcome.
...Judge Chatigny informed the litigants: "This isn't a case involving males who have decided that they want to run in girls' events. This is a case about girls who say that transgender girls should not be allowed in girls' events."
In Judge Chatigny's view, in other words, this is a case about one kind of girl excluding another kind of girl. That is a wildly prejudicial admission: Even before expert testimony is heard, Judge Chatigny has already determined that these biological boys are some type of girl. And despite the pleadings, Judge Chatigny has decided this is not even really a case about impermissible sex discrimination. It's a case about those who would exclude from their club the "wrong" kind of girl.
