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.

I can still imagine the cuck police force still knocking on peoples door if someone were to link news articles to this ruiling to their facebook page for 'triggering' someone. So I still expect the UK to fuck it up

iirc the UK Supreme Court was set up by Blair, it’s not a time-honored institution like ours. Interesting tidbit.

Yes but also no, it's taken over some functions that the House of Lords did, it was more or less renaming at the time but has long term implications Labour wanted that won't come to fruition for decades. As Labour have always been trying to remove power from the House of Lords which has always been proportionally more Conservative by making those changes they could change the way that they appoint judges, it might be 20 years before non-Conservative party people work through the career progression and things needed to be appointed but it now means they can as the route to that position has changed.

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

Yes.

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?

Trespass isn't in itself illegal so ending up in court for walking into ladies loos or changing rooms or whatever is always so convoluted, I'm sure throwing in shoving a certificate in someones face if they challenge being in the wrong loos adds even more he said she said to that.

I take no sides unless pooners get banned too.

Every time these whiny, histrionic, victim complex faggots try to shame people by saying shit like this, it just makes me want to go out and buy as much Harry Potter merch as I can get my hands on.

I for one am even happier with my purchase of Hogwarts Legacy. It was great to see that boycott fail under the collective shrug of everyone else. It'll be fun to watch their tantrum over this meet the same response.

will the terfs rally against pakis, muslims and poos next?

No, they will sulk around trying to get readmitted to left wing spaces as this was the only topic they were correct on, I'm honestly sick of these "I'm of the left, but..." people when the main source of societies problems now are the result of left-wing policies and the cowardice of not trying to reverse them.

I knew of an old online friend of mine who is in the UK. Freak trooned out and cut me off because I was a reminder of a time back when he was a guy.

I pray that the court will give him permanent seething and dilation for the rest of his life.

Just know every time he steps out of his house we are laughing at him.

I can honestly see the College of Policing telling forces not to enforce the law when men in dresses make a point of using women's changing rooms to terrorise actual women because they're on the heckin' right side of history. There's going to be so much salt generated by this all of our dishes will be well seasoned for generations.

Get your popcorn ready, lads. This isn't the end. I don't think this is even the beginning of the end. We're somewhere towards the end of act one and the heroes haven't yet realises the scale of the evil they are fighting

I look forward to whatever peaceful demonstrations take place.

I mean, conservative rule for 10 years where all these problems happened and boiled over.

No, the problem is neither the Left or Right actually goes through with what they say. They use it to grift money and fuck all else.

As is proven time and again, no one voted for the mudslimes. They just did it.

 

[mellstroy]

Why are troons so obsessed with murder is it their new fetish or something?

 

[cybertoaster]

Am I reading it wrong or it only excludes pooners from female spaces (if they are too butch) but not from male spaces?

i figure as much, terfs cry about male on female violence until someone points out which demographic of men causes those crimes to increase, is like activist atheists suddenly freezing up when it comes to criticising islam or judaism , i wish they'd at least be consistent.

The seeds of the gender nonsense were sown under Theresa May as she really over corrected on the Conservatives being slow on social issues. Plus her main flaw was she wanted to be liked by Guardian readers.

Calling a Tory some sort of -phobic is there kryptonite these days and they will destroy the country to avoid being called names.

The Conservatives need to learn from Douglas Murray, who has the ability to fuck men in the arse, be called a homophobe and a nazi, and just not care.

Nice. Very Nice.

Let's see them Deport the sand monkeys now.

Then we'd see the TERFs out protesting with signs saying "no human is illegal unless he is in the wrong changing room."

Both. Its a section that's talking about single sex only spaces and what that entails. The example given is female, but males are also entitled to single sex spaces, you just usually have fewer of them.
If a group is designated as female only, then they can exclude both males (troons) and women who poon out too hard.
If a group is designated as male only, then they can exclude both females (pooners) and men who troon out too hard.

In other words the AskGayBros subreddit has the okay from the UK Supreme Court to exclude pooners from their single sex space.

Murray is a special kind of man. He recently went and fucked two guys for the entire world to see. Dude is built different.

But seriously, not even just the Cons need to be comfortable. Labour too. All the issues keep happening because we let those in power stuff against the voterbase.

I hope this ruins Oliver Thorne’s day.

 

[Beautiful Border]

It will always amuse me that the UK picked this one issue to be based on. We're fucking up literally everything else, but on this we're somehow managing to get it right. It's fascinating, honestly.

As is proven time and again, no one voted for the mudslimes. They just did it.

The Boriswave is why I will never, ever vote Conservative.

 

[crunchy bits are the best]

Score one for common sense over the troons' mental gymnastics.
