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.

Finally something good happens in the world. And under a Labour government too! The US needs to follow by example, but they probably won't.

On one side trannies, need I say more?.

In the other the most manhatting radfems and bulldykes you can find in the trash islands.

I take no sides unless pooners get banned too.

So troons are the bone the UK is going to throw to the people to get them to ignore the mudslimes, huh?

I despise the UK government with every fiber of my being for dragging The United States into WW1 and sending us down this timeline. Sure, Trump may never have happened in the way that he has but maybe he never would have needed to.
The Hohenzollern dynasty was one of the few monarchies that I respect and somewhat admire and for the fact that Frederick The Great and later on, Otto von Bismarck thought we weren’t just shit like the rest of the world did until after WW2.
A world where Imperial Germany and The US are the leading super powers is probably the best outcome but we didn’t get that because of Britain.


All of that sperging being said, I have respect for the UK government for finally taking a stand for women’s rights, basic biology, and sanity.

Total clown world.

Is increasing/lowering taxes good or bad, how much welfare is enough, what should our military policy be? All open for debate and discussion.

What is a woman? Cavemen figured this shit out. Without knowing any thing about anatomy or chomosomes.

[Oddity]

Isn't this just stating the facts? Why do trannies have to be mad about it when it's just on paper? They can identify as male, female, non-binary, whatever but they're still their original sex on paper.

It's like if I engine swap my Corolla's engine with a BMW's, completely debadge and rice it a fuckton, while changing all the seats and adding rainbow tint. Would it look crazy? Could people tell it wasn't stock? Yeah. It's still a Corolla on paper though.

Despite this ruling being excellent news, it cost our taxpayers many hundreds of thousands of our Great British Squid to decide this.

Judge will need to hire some personal bodyguards at all times because he has incurred the full wrath of every 6'3'' AGP fetishist and Discord ageplay groomer in the country. The bottom of his garden wall will be scaled by thousands like that scene from World War Z. Just instead of zombies it's men in women's clothing.

They are not gonna go after the judge. They only go after, and harass, women.

He's also the judge, not some Harry Potter writer, so if he started getting threats I'm 99% sure British cops would use their internet hate crime unit to find and arrest the offenders.
