Cambridge University ignoring the Supreme Court ruling?

Dd is going to the Cambridge open day coming up, I got an email through about the colleges and was having a read through. There’s a section about “gender identity” and how it impacts on what colleges you can apply to. There are two women’s colleges but both accept anyone who identifies as a woman!

This is from Murray Edwards:
“At the admissions level, we will consider any student who, at the point of application, identifies as a woman“

How can this still be allowed? It’s self ID too so has NEVER been legal for the purposes of the eqA.

you’ve rambled on with a word salad

Y'know, I don't think "word salad" is the right descriptor. Salad is far too light and digestible, and even, arguably, good for you. It can also contain lts of different ingredients rather than the same thing over and over and over again.

I think "word boiled suet pudding" is closer to the mark, for both this person's monologues and the strange ramblings of President Trump (which are very similar as regards actual content).

"Word boiled suet pudding without even raisins".

Can I upgrade that to ‘word boiled head cheese’?

I'm with you, lost the will quite a while ago! Are we still arguing with Mr. AI Word Salad?

@Wishesandhorses said it best:

This is about costume and access to biological women

I'm going with that from now on. It's no more complicated than that.

Are we still arguing with Mr. AI Word Salad?

I suspect most of us are just scrolling through. He needs a new hobby.

Newnham and Murray Edwards are both wonderful wonderful places that promote females in education and are hugely accepting of people from all backgrounds. They are also both built on the premise of making education accessible to people who have historically been disadvantaged due to gender. They are safe havens for people who may previously have felt unable to be themselves in education for fear of discrimination or even abuse. As a cis person, I never once felt threatened by any members of my college (which is one of these two) and would be much more upset at the thought of studying somewhere that excluded others who identify as females and quite frankly are significantly more marginalised and disadvantaged than myself. I don’t know any trans females at either (that’s not to say they aren’t there - just that the numbers are INCREDIBLY low and that their presence has never made an ounce of difference to anybody else’s life). The media is selling a belief that trans people are inherently dangerous but there is ZERO empirical peer-reviewed scientific evidence for this (and lots of evidence suggesting they are more likely to be victimised). The Newnham and Medwards communities voted on the issue and voted in favour of self-ID - the student body accept trans students and are happy to share their college with them

‘who identify as females and quite frankly are significantly more marginalised and disadvantaged than myself‘

Who says they are disadvantaged and marginalised? They may not have been marginalised at all. All sorts of privileged men are now trans.

Elon Musk’s son would be an example. And no doubt he’s applauded and hugged wherever he goes.
