That's because common sense, logic and consistency is the responsibility, and duty, of the Law.

Now individual providers need to have it made clear that single sex exemptions relate to biological sex and not 'certificated sex'.

It was wonderful. And like a FWR thread.

i am jogging at the moment so i have so much to read. Just amazing.

I hear you.

How do you ban a person with a female passport out the ladies, even if they have a sausage?

Fucking hell, what a brilliant outcome.
Faith in the justice system restored. 😭

Crying here, I truly did not expect this result. Well done FWS you bloody brilliant women

The BBC coverage is outrageous!! 🤬

So now TWANW is not simply a gender critical "belief".

It's a ruling by the Supreme Court.

Helen Joyce on the power of Mumsnet.

I'm sitting here with a glass of celebratory wine, A toast to FWS and all the women who have fought this battle. It's been a long road.

Yes, the ability to have sex markers changed on official documents is one of the next battles.

Thank you to FWS and to every single wonderful woman who made this happen!!!

What absolute bloody heroes fws are!!!

Absolutely - and for the two previous courts to have rejected their claim is astonishing. Thank goodness for common sense.

I particularly enjoyed the reasoning where the judge talked about the GRC creating subgroups under the category of sex - and because noone could ask to see a GRC that made it impossible for employers/organisations to identify and meet the differing needs of the subgroups...

So in the end - caught in their own petard!
Love that.

And quite rightly trans people can rely on protection from harassment under their own section of the EA which is Gender Reassignment. Hurrah!

Wonderful, bloody well done everyone . So proud, happy and weepy.
💕

So happy.

The Fox Botherer with his usual grasp of the law 😆. I'm not on Bluesky but I'm guessing the gnashing of teeth and shaking of fists is deafening.

Omg, the relief. Thank you so much all you wonderful women who have worked for this.

I've been a Sex Matters super supporter since it was founded, and have never been prouder. Money well spent on these incredible advocates for women.

Joanna cherry is there

...now, what's right is right
but you ain't been right yet

Song of the Day.

Just wanted to add my thanks to FWS. What a fabulous ruling!!!

Fox botherer probably only spoke to RMW 🤣

Maybe he is mixing up talking to KCs with talking to himself in KFC?

BBC are mostly banging on about trans rights.
