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.

>>sigh
It is almost magical how little effort troons have to take to sound like the gigafaggots they are.

 

[Idiotron]

It's amazing that a court had to decide that men aren't women.
This is truly an great timeline we live in.

Hope Contrapoints sees this one. Wonder if we'll get a response from him.

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.

Like so many of these things, it goes back to Blair. It was Blair's re-ordering of institutions and his mass creation of quangos that allowed all this shit to fester out of sight. Every government since then has done more of the same.

This is funny to me, because soon, when the kaliphate is established and sharia law is introduced, they will be disposed of anyways. Unless they flee to Israel, of course.

Muslim countries forcibly trans gay people. They love trannies, as long as they're hidden in a burka; gives them a way to bugger one another on the down-low, in between eating "white beef" and definitely not drinking huge amounts of beer in the back of the local hookah lounge.

Well it looks very sunny and nice wherever she is. Isla del terfo?

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 don’t know. GRCs were always a legal fudge and I’d like to know if they can now be challenged

This is funny to me, because soon, when the kaliphate is established and sharia law is introduced, they will be disposed of anyways. Unless they flee to Israel, of course.

The first thing the kaliphate will rule is that every locality, no matter how small the village, must have at least one building three stories or higher with a flat roof and public access.

When the kaliphate starts, all the lgbt sex-offenders will look back at today and say "bussy, didn't we have it good when we were legally just not allowed to call ourselves woman".

Looks like Anas Sawar is trying to rewrite history

I’ve always called for the protection of single sex spaces on the basis of biological sex.This judgment gives clarity to women and service users about the protections in the Equality Act. The SNP Government must provide clear guidance for Scottish public services so they can implement the Equality Act properly to uphold dignity for all.

Don't you just hate community notes Anas?

As leader of the Scottish Labour Party, Anas Sarwar told his MSPs to vote in favour of Nicola Sturgeon’s GRR Bill and self-ID policy which would have opened up women’s single-sex spaces to biological males.

As much as this is a W, let's not forget that JK didn't this because she's a Based Trad™ but because she really, really hates men

My phone screen is cracked so i read that as 'J.K. Supreme Court'

Glad to see Rowling vindicated in her lifetime.
All hail the turf queen.

Now she can go back to supporting open borders and flooding the country with rape gangs.

"That's not a woman."

[AltisticRight]

Yet again these gross autogynephilic cross-dressing freakish men in dresses bring up an innate disability that affects literally statistical irrelevancy to justify their encroachment of women's rights to have spaces free of men (98% of rapists, 90% of domestic abusers et cetera you get the point).
Imagine being born with something so horrific (DSD), being an unfortunate product of a medical system that failed you, and now you're the argument for freaks wearing dresses and chokers to perv around woman's spaces. It must suck.
(Normally when a infant is born, hospitals will check for such conditions and ensure the infant has a normal upbringing that is aligned to their biological sex, if detected. People with DSD are usually biologically male.
5-alpha reductase deficiency: XY chromosomes, may have screwed up penis or unidentifiable genitals at birth
Androgen insensitivity syndrome: XY, but differing external sex characteristics
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Gonadal dysgenesis, ovotestes: can apply to XY and XX, either male or female
Klinefelter: an extra X chromosome, still XY.
Turner syndrome: XX, one chromosome lacking (in part or full), female

You see, most intersex people are still biologically male, with some rare exceptions of those being female. No amount of gross tranny hair-splitting (especially those furballs after dilation) will change this fact. People who are born with these conditions shouldn't ever be used as fodder to further these troon's sick perverted crossdressing fetishes. The only times I've ever heard intersex being brought up is when a tranny seethes about (usually him) being denied access to women's spaces.
>But whataboutintersex says the apeish moid freak

Intersex is NOT a fucking sexual orientation. People who are intersex ARE NOT troons. You almost never hear intersex people cry about "muh human rights", it's simple. Despite their chromosomes, they've made up their minds and their identity. Sure, there are some intersex XX/XY who identifies with the other sex, typically due to upbringing and not being diagnosed earlier in childhood, but that's an infinitesimal population of an already rare condition (around 1.7% are intersex, many would never even find out because mild conditions exist). Failure of the system in no way grants fully biologically complete men in dresses special rights to creep around women.

She went quiet on that about that a couple of years back and has made a few small mumbles about immigrant men in the last year. She's definitely not a fan of islam. Those rape gangs in particular intersect with her general "protect girls" campaigning. Rainbow me to death, but I think she's at the stage with immigration now where she was with troons shortly before she wrote her open letter. Not expecting her to go all wignat or anything, but I do think she's taking a more hostile stance to immigration in general. Whether she'd admit it is another matter.

 

[AltisticRight]

23+61+381 is like 930. Yeah, not a lot of them cheering alright.
Actually, half of 930. Not even 500.


I'm sure JKR will have nightmares today because a tranny catboy is seething.

 

[Thewildpelican]

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.

That isn't really true mate. Enough of them are against the Islams and the niggers. I saw it on their forums where they say it's refreshing that they can talk about this without being censored since their libtard and commie circles are all "everybody has gotta be pro-palestine and pro-immigration"

There was something interesting that the women pointed out. And that is, they were bullshitted to think it's helpless women and children fleeing the sandlands and just wanting a better life and to be good citizens. Media images and all that. Instead the truth is that most of these people are actually fighting-age sand-dwelling men and niggers. And the women who managed to tag along are mostly die-hard Islamic muslimahs who think white girls should be attacked and white boys should be stabbed. And they are realizing this Islamic business was a mistake.

Unless you are talking about the real radical feminists or something? A lot of women who dislike the troons aren't strictly radical feminists. A bit of issue with some women is that they believe they should swear fealty to leftism always, instead of starting something different at least.

 

[I Hate Sheeps]

Haven't trannies found out yet that the UK has become an Islamic country.
What the fuck did they expect.

 

[JuanLee]

Has anyone checked in on David Tennant to see how he's getting on?

 

[AltisticRight]

Haven't trannies found out yet that the UK has become an Islamic country.
What the fuck did they expect.

Islamic countries will forcibly troon out homosexuals on the state's dime, like the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Trannies want tax-payer funded troon juice, they should all be deported to the progressive Iran.
