Watching BBC news. Glinner is there. Big cheer.

Yes 🙌

Mr Menno jumoing up and down

Singing on sky news

I let out a squeak of joy (sat at my desk, supposedly working).

We shouldn't need to be celebrating this but thank goodness we are!! Yay!

Onwards and Upwards!!!

Can anyone remember how much was crowdfunded to get us here?

Women’s rights are human rights. To auld Lang syne

Interesting watching the BBC. The two female reporters trying to be impartial but clearly are happy with this judgement.

Of course they told Jm that. Has he not worked out the dynamic yet.

he will get told what he wants to hear. Women are abused and then resort to judgements to show they were right.

meanwhile male people still are told answers that support their ideological thinking. Because they are male people.

Oh my god. Congratulations FWS. Thank you so so much for bringing this. Thank you.

I think the reporter and presenter are grinning wildly. I can hear their voices changing.

I think they're picking their language very carefully to not be accused of bias. They are carefully enunciating the "concerns of vulnerable trans people" – then saying, "but the judge says they will be fine. Next!"

Yep. How do you prove that a man with a female birth certificate is a man? That's the next challenge.

We're told these men can be excluded from single sex spaces but how the eff do we prove that they are men. Birth certificates show a sex marker linked to a genital inspection carried out at birth. The marker is linked to biology.

Except that the GRC has severed that link and means birth certs are no longer proof of bio sex.

So how do we prove bio sex.

Just watched that. I’m a mess

Just reposting in case this gets lost in the celebrations!

If anyone is watching the BBC - what time does the judge say the magic words that it's biological sex. Is it at the point where he says they allow the appeal? I want to catch the magic moment.

I wonder if any of the women involved in this (not just this case, but all the others) had any idea when they started on this path, just how much of an impact they would have, and in some cases how much it would change their lives.

Lump in my throat at the mention of Magdalen

You’re welcome 😘

It was about 9:55 that he said Sex means Biological Sex, @Peregrina

Is that Susan speaking on sky ? But we can’t hear

Wow at work today but just seen this. Common sense prevails.

BBC - FWS women speaking now.

And much love to Magdalen Berns. Xxxxxx

I've broken open an Easter egg to celebrate😍

Huge shout out to Mumsnet where FWS met, and where I first realised I wasn't going mad

Is it too early to drink?
