Totally.

It's one thing to shift around in the wings letting women down by default. It's quite another to run out shouting it and waving a flag

We should do some special prizes for the most outrageous ones. We are good at keeping the receipts here...

A TRA reporting goes to see what all the noise is about and is drowned out by a crowd of joyful singing women. Did I spot Jean from Aberdeen in that group? It looks like her!

There's soo many but the 1s that most people remember are 8 year olds should be able to change sex and vote🤪 and that baby's are born without a sex

Thank you FWS ❤️

I can't wait to see whatever reverse ferret James O'Brien comes up with. He's one who can't cope with being in the wrong/on the wrong side of history. He's been one of the worst perpetrators of this thought crime that men can be women in fact and in law.

What is it, please? I tried to open it, but I am not subscribed to Twitter. Please tell us.

Sky News says that Monroe Bergdorff is speaking to legal experts about how this will affect their community.

I wonder who those experts will be....

I wonder if Billy Bragg will bring out a new song to support this victory for Women?

NHS fife considering their position

But Upton is a biological woman so....🤔

Three leading KCs would be my guess

Hats off to FWS for fighting this battle for every woman in the country/world.
and very pleased that the judgement was unanimous, unambiguous and went way beyond the original ask to clarify that it covers every single aspect of ‘single sex’ provisions

great day to be a woman!!

I suspect we'll see a few individuals as wannabe trans-Rosa Parks, Just Stop Boilogy, pushing it for disruption and performative arrests. There are some genuinely vulnerable transpeople and children caught up in this rubbish too. They could be manipulated in to doing worrying stuff. I lack any faith that the wiser heads in their so-called community will dissuade them from potentially harmful behaviour.

Thank you!

A wee trip down memory lane, on the ‘complexity’ behind the ‘what is a woman’ question - often claimed to be a ‘dog whistle’ by those deliberate muddying clear waters.

“When, for example, citizens use changing or toilet facilities in a shop, we do not provide our birth certificate or take a chromosome test. Rather we are judged on the outward expression of our sex category, our gender. That is why the statutory guidance says that service providers should normally accommodate customers according to their gender and why the non-statutory guidance, referring to biological sex, put out for apparently political purposes by the Equality and Human Rights Commission last month is both wrong in law and unworkable in practical application.”

Turns out the law was deemed unworkable, but not in the way RMW claimed it to be.

Oh God the beeb have some bloke from amnesty trying to defend them interviewing in the case.
It's all about the trans nothing about women, oh and we must enforce all anti trans discrimination and really push for it but nothing for women 🤬

To paraphrase King of Bling... "Old Joly isn't jolly, he is glum and he is sad"

Just wondering what is going on in the LGBTQ staff networks atm. I think not a lot of work getting done today in a few places.

The Guardian reporting seems quite... well, balanced. Have they read the room? Is a reverse ferret happening? 🤔

I would happily contribute to a crowd funder for any trans activist taking a case to court who wants to employ the services of both Jolyon Maugham and RMW.

From the mail

Transgender women are NOT legally women, Supreme Court rules https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14617521/Definition-woman-relates-biological-woman-biological-sex-Supreme-Court-rules-landmark-judgment-end-transgender-access-single-sex-spaces.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

I'm wondering about the question of how ya gonna tell when we have F on our birth certificate.

im guessing, they just get refused on the basis of a visual decision, and if they insist, security is called?

And then if they want to sue, they can. And if they're a man they'll lose, but if they're a woman?

sorry, edited to add, that if proof is necessary, would a cheek swab be taken?

I'm still in absolute shock.

My brain is struggling to comprehend just how big this is and just how quickly we have turned this round.

It was only 5 years ago that we were told our beliefs were not worthy of respect in a democratic society. Now everyone knows that our beliefs simply reflect the law.

To be fair to the Mail, and I rarely am, they've been strong on this from the get go. Probably their motivations are different to mine but they've peaked a lot of people.
