U.K. Top Court Says Trans Women Do Not Meet Legal Definition of Women Under Equality Act​

Britain’s Supreme Court was asked to rule on whether trans women can be defined as female under a British law that aims to protect against discrimination.

The Supreme Court in Britain ruled on Wednesday that trans women do not fall within the legal definition of women under the country’s equality legislation.

The deputy president of the court, Lord Hodge, said in a summary of the decision: “The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 refer to biological women and biological sex.”

However, he added: “We counsel against reading this judgment as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another, it is not.” He said the ruling “does not cause disadvantage to trans people” because they have protections under anti-discrimination and equality laws.

The landmark judgment follows a yearslong legal battle over whether trans women can be regarded as female under the 2010 law, which aims to prevent discrimination on the basis of gender, sexuality, race and other protected characteristics.

The decision was highly anticipated because it could have potentially far-reaching consequences for how the law is applied to single sex spaces, equal pay claims and maternity policies as well as to some of the rights available to transgender people in Britain.

Isn’t Sophie Molly sparkles Scottish? Has he had anything to say about this? I’m dying to hear from the man who posted his autistic stare while dilating on an airport bathroom floor lol

I mean he can go in them but now, we have the right to tell him he's a man and to fuck off.

Trans men are mentally sick perverts and fetishists and seeing them all crying and REEING has made my afternoon.

You're still gonna get arrested for calling a troon a man though

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

Tranny narc rage is hilarious. The tranny narc hates being called what he is. But it could also be dangerous tho. The majority of trannies are lazy internet warriors but there are deranged, violent, hulking beasts among them. Hopefully they 41% themselves or get shot to death by police before they can hurt people.

Maybe, but the Supreme Court has just decided that you'll NEVER be a REAL woman and you're not allowed access to women only spaces.

It's a glorious day.

Chills, NGL. Sky news beaten out by celebrating women. Wait for it

When I'm at my lowest and think I couldn't hate this Island anymore than I do, I see something like this and I think, This Island isn't so bad.

 

[goat sneed]

One of the few times TERF island has lived up to its name. Here's to many more

I'll bet KJK and JKR are having a blessed day.

 

[Otterly]

Sure would be a shame if the Yookay's censorship apparatus turns on trannies, and they start getting police visits for posting hatethoughts like "Trans Women are Women" on their Blueskies...

There are tweets shown earlier in this thread calling for JKRs home to be torched and fantasising about throttling her to death (so very feminine, threatening to kill women who say no to you!)
If any one of us posted on Xitter the same thing but for kier starmer, or any UK protected figure, there’d be six bobbbies at the door before the tea was done brewing . There is a disgusting double standard here where troons have Teflon protection over actual real threats and speech that anyone else would be prosecuted for. Everyone’s sick to the back teeth of the lot of them

Lol when he gets sent to prison and no amount of autistic screeching will save him in the men's showers.

Across the land for they rejoised in being able to refer to a woman as a woman, and pretenders as pretenders.

 

[Billy Bob Dick]

remember the good old days when it was deemed perfectly reasonable to give a perverted man in a dress a savage kicking on genereal principle?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

P.S. - I can think of no better analogy for the modern tranny movement than Griffin, H.G. Wells' "Invisible Man."
-Declares himself emperor ("Invisible Man the First")
-goes after a doctor
-gets done by a pissed-off gang of dockworkers with work boots and shovels

one can but hope

Notice how the Labour party are accepting this decision and not whining about it?

Democrats in the US could learn from them...

 

[Thewildpelican]

Damm, I missed out on this thread. This a good start as I wrote in the other trans thread. Perhaps tackling all that Islam stuff will be next. And If it's really true that Trump will really make a deal on the condition that Starmer loosens up on freedom of speech, that'd be great.

 

[Mayor Cody Travers]

Democrats in the US could learn from them...

I'm wanting them to double down on supporting troons so I can see them go downhill even farther in elections and really send a message to the trannies, truth be told.

Absolute fucking gangster,

What’s the point of the gender recognition certificate if it means blokes in frocks cannot get into the ladies loos?

I need some sort of Brit lawfag to explain (in simple terms - I’m stupid) whether there’s not now a direct contradiction in this ruling and the one that allows the gender recognition certificates. I know gender isn’t sex etc etc, but what does a gender bullshit cert actually do, if it doesn’t get you into women’s spaces? Does it just compel others to call you by your magical princess name?

Does the Brit govt issue a new (fake) birth certificate with ‘Brianna’ instead of ‘Brian’ on it after a gender recognition certificate?

So many questions. God, trannies are annoying.

It's because of their Muslim constituency that they can't scare away. It's a power play not any inherent resonableness on their part.
