The intepretation of the act cant be inconsistent, so where it protects women for pregnancy, it couldnt be that this is biological only, but in other acts it is biological + certificated

EasternStandard · 16/04/2025 10:06

Thank you to those who took this on. I’m crying too. Really grateful.

SameyMcNameChange · 16/04/2025 10:06

It is so wonderful to hear all the nonsense set out as being nonsense!

MaeDuptag · 16/04/2025 10:06

LouisaGuy · 16/04/2025 10:06

Here's the quote

"The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms "woman" and "sex" in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex"

You sweet tongued devil, you 😁🥳

Lark1ane · 16/04/2025 10:06

He's claifying matters around s.9. and s. 9(i) GRA but I'll have to come back and read it again as too teary to concentrate properly.

Needspaceforlego · 16/04/2025 10:06

Thank-you WFS. You brave women!!!
Thanks 😊

Now how much would I want to be a fly.on the wall at NHS Fife???

ArabellaScott · 16/04/2025 10:06

PoshCoffee · 16/04/2025 10:03

Exactly my thinking. If this changes “gender for all purposes” but not sex in the Equality Act, what’s the point of the GRA?

It's a 'gender' certificate. And gender is meaningless.

Shortshriftandlethal · 16/04/2025 10:06

Yes! Consistency and logic rules the day.

"Sex Matters argued cogently".

Unlike some others, although the judge is too polite to say that part.

I wonder how the opposition argued

"Be kiiiiiiiiind"

OMG unanimous!

JamesWebbSpaceTelescope · 16/04/2025 10:06

Lesbian only spaces get a mention!!!! Whoooop.

desiringtoremainsane · 16/04/2025 10:07

Certificated sex would undermine protections on sexuality and single sex services and single sex characteristic associationa (sport, equality duty etc).

Bluebootsgreenboots · 16/04/2025 10:07

It sounds like these judges have been reading Mumsnet for their detailed argument - they’ve got it all. Incredible.

Mmmnotsure · 16/04/2025 10:07

Oh this is good. Listening to him sounds like listening to the counsel for FWS etc in the Supreme Court case - he is repeating so many of their arguments and AGREEING WITH THEM.

There will be caveats

But anyone not listening, recommend you listen to the youtube recording when it's up, just for fun.

ArabellaScott · 16/04/2025 10:07

I'd like to thank the judge's eyebrows

ghostofadog · 16/04/2025 10:07

Thank you FWS you are legends!!!! This is incredible, feel very emotional

I'm gonna have to watch again because I now can't take a single thing in. My brain doors have slammed shut. Helpful reaction to immense relief right there.

I'm going to have to as well, I'm not taking any of this in! Too busy crying.

Skyellaskerry · 16/04/2025 10:07

Oh my word I was watching live but didn’t trust that I had understood right so checked here!!! ❤️

littlbrowndog · 16/04/2025 10:07

Scottish government is incorrect. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Planesmistakenforstars · 16/04/2025 10:08

Fuck yeah. Thank you to FWS and the other women who fought for this. The world is a bit better today 💐

Needspaceforlego · 16/04/2025 10:08

ArabellaScott · 16/04/2025 10:06

It's a 'gender' certificate. And gender is meaningless.

It probably let's you wear womans uniform and act like a woman but keeps you out the ladies loos.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it Dr Upton.
