Cambridgeshire CC passes motion in support of transgender people as Supreme Court ruling has "restricted their rights"

[IwantToRetire]

The motion referenced the recent Supreme Court ruling that decided that under the Equality Act 2010 ‘sex’ means biological sex and that ‘woman’ refers to a person born female and ‘man’ refers to a person born male. It said this ruling had “significantly impacted the legal recognition of trans and non-binary individuals, restricting their rights and exacerbating discrimination”.

Cllr Whelan said her motion was designed to support all people across Cambridgeshire, but focused on a small group she said were currently receiving a “disproportionate amount of repression and hate”. She read a letter to the meeting from a transgender person who said simply by existing they were being “called a threat, a danger, a problem to be solved”.

Cllr Whelan added that people who take rights away from one group of people “then take them away from everyone”. She said the motion offered the county council the chance to show its support and that it cares for “not just trans men, trans women, and non-binary people, but to every single person in this county”.

🤔

Oh bloody hell. I live here. What about my rights and my female children’s rights?

But she’s happy for women to lose our sex based rights?

How can someone lose rights they never had?

I wish they felt as strongly about people's right to a bus service in the rural villages.

I bloody voted Lib Dem last time, never again.

This is some clueless lifelong committee type who has not given a moment’s thought to why the Supreme Court judgement was even necessary.

Got to hand it to the TRAs, they might reject biological reality, but they have laser focus when it comes to targeting easily manipulated useful idiots.

What rights did they lose? Apart from making quotas on Scottish boards?

Oh ffs!

Forget the Lib Dems......they are almost as bad as the Greens. They are really are detached from reality in their liberal, nicey - nicey ivory tower.

“Those who have spoken against trans lives, so be it, they do not need your approval to exist, nothing will stop them from existing, they have existed throughout history. There is no gender ideology, just people, not movement, just people.”

None of the quotes I read in the article spoke 'against trans', they spoke in favour of following the law and protecting women and girls.

Cllr Whelan quoted chapter and verse of the doctrine though, they've been around for ever blah di blah.

Surely this should be a cause for concern to the government by now, that so many elected officials, and employees of the public sector are rejecting the laws of the land.

The Supreme Court were very clear that people with the PC of gender reassignment retain all the rights they’ve always had. She’s just advertised that she can’t read

Or just listening to the bloke on the right.

I think she sees you and your children as non-playable characters in this game

Some councillors said they could not support the motion and accused it of “virtue signalling”. The motion was debated at a full council meeting on Tuesday (July 15).

Well she thought wrong. Already died on this hill with Girl Guides and work 🙄

👏👏👏
I look forward to your further triumph against this latest bump in the road

Yep. There’s a special place in hell for women like Alison.

Urgh, my councillor voted yes.

I'm taking no blame, I voted Party of Women in that election!

Actually folks, there’s three men in that photo.
On searching for Cambs councillors, there are two, Allison and Christine. Note the flags in the profile.
