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.

So the UK's collective law enforcement apparatus will be hard at work now rounding up, prosecuting and imprisoning every asshole within their jurisdiction posting wishes of death, pain, suffering and other violence against J.K. Rowling, the ruling judge in this case, their supporters, and non-trannies, right guys?

...guys?

"No!"
*stretches legs outta here*

Guess saying that you want to strangle a woman to death is ok in the UK as long as you're a tranny.

 

[SITHRAK!]

I note ‘the real NaomiH’ in the opening post saying “personally i believe we should murder jk rowling. violently”.
I wonder if this is this the same NaomiH troon that caused a minor shitstorm when he got a NASA internship then immediately demonstrated why giving terminally online autistic furry transgenders preferential treatment for DEI reasons is a bad idea?

Total tranny death innit? God save the king.

UK trannies with microphones on suicide watch. Can’t wait for the next episode!

Honestly the part of this article that surprises me the most is that it came from the UK

I'm glad that Terf Island is holding up

Unironically, why does any of this matter? Who is going to get hurt if trans women (especially HSTS ones) are legally considered female? This doesn't harm anybody. You are retarded for cheering J. K. Rowling on, she is literally your average ultra-leftist if you don't consider her views on trans people. She would push for this forum getting banned if trannies didn't exist.

 

[Gandalf Hitler]

Funny how they state pretty clearly that trans women aren't legally of the female sex, but then they try to lighten the blow and do damage control to prevent trannies from doing exactly what they're currently doing, which is having tantrums on Bluesky where they think nobody can see them.

I don't even feel bad for them anymore, not that I really did to begin with.

Unironically, why does any of this matter?

because letting delusional people change what is considered fact at a governmental and societal level and then enforcing that under threat of state violence is fucking retarded and corrosive in and of itself without even considering the harm of the delusion itself. because society isnt this magic thing that just functions you have to maintain it and letting it become retarded is bad actually. retard

Who is going to get hurt if trans women (especially HSTS ones) are legally considered female?

all the children and delusional people who will be surgically and or chemically altered in a vain pursuit of nonsense and falsehood and who will be left to be preyed upon by a predatory medical industry.

she is literally your average ultra-leftist if you don't consider her views on trans people

which is why people cheer on the trans stuff and dont cheer on her retardation like inventing quidditch to spite sports loving men despite many of those not really caring about her series.

She would push for this forum getting banned if trannies didn't exist.

you can exist in a state such that you dont react with desperate prey animal tier flailing when forced to interact with people who dont like you in whole or part. cheering jk or using her as a meme now for this doesnt mean you automatically surrender every point and you cant really shut everyone down like that or youre left with just yourself.

edit i should also add that even if you accept that trans exists and people can change genders then the medical industry still preys on people who obviously arent trans no matter where you move that line.

 

[SITHRAK!]

How about the women and girls who are exposed to male rapists in female bathrooms and change rooms? Transgender ’females’ rape women at the same or higher rates than non-troon men, after all.

This pendulum swing thing is so strong we might get WW3, 4 and 5 simultaneously just to counterbalance it.
Fuck the "not repeating mistakes of the past" shit, history is all about breaking records

 

[TheShedCollector]

The world is healing. All we need now is for Reform to absolutely stomp the commies and the Tories, sick to their promises about border security and we can start having an actual society again where well adjusted normal people can enjoy life

Gonna quote my prognostication over why the anti-troon wave seems that much stronger in bongland than it does in the rest of the anglosphere from a couple months back

Dunno if I sperged about this before but my suspicions as to why this is happening is that the leftist/liberal circles in the UK were already full of middle aged third wave feminist types, where "there are no essentialist mental or emotional characteristics, just physical differences between men and women" was the accepted dogma norm but for the more edgetard inclined this would often devolve to predictable "men are retarded inhuman beasts with defective brains who can never be trusted as they are subhuman down to the fucking DNA" schtick, with both of these positions being antithetical in the extreme to currentyear troonshit where the merest hesitation to obsequious grovelling is added to the Book of Grudges Trans Genocides.

Thus when the troon swarm descended to colonise these leftist and liberal spheres as they had done so everywhere else, they found them already inhabited by ill tempered performative leftist holdouts of the prior currentyear who were in no mood to surrender their positions or share their space with upstarts who just happened to personify everything their own edgetards had been warning about since the early 90s, which led to a wave of predictable troon tantrums and IRL clownshit waged at this literal hitler TURF faction right out the gate. This had two significant impacts.

1. Seriously poisoned the well for troon acceptance in traditional liberal and leftist publications and institutions beyond the most heavily globalised like Universities, as journalists and activists and mid tier political types saw friends and colleagues come under absolutely fucking absurd levels of attack from a group that was showing itself to be as hideous morally as it was physically, especially since merely being friends with a suspected TURF was enough to wind up on the troon shitlist
2. Gave right wing publications and institutions a truly hilarious amount of "latest left wing retard shit" fodder to present to the public on a silver platter which leftist/liberal politicians in high places were well aware of and thus extremely conscious of the fact they needed to avoid stepping on this obvious landmine by being seen to enthusiastically approve of the retard troon mob

These factors along with others like the influx of foreign troons and troon lovers loudly throwing shit at the UK for being "TURF ISLAND" and the very high profile jihad declared on JK Rowling meant that the march of the troons which had gone largely unhindered in the rest of the anglosphere found itself bogged down in trench warfare in the middle of the head office of The Guardian newspaper proverbially speaking, and this state of affairs lasted long enough for currentyear to peak, at which point the backlash was allowed to begin and troons began seriously loosing what ground they had taken which leads us to now.

So TLDR the remnants of currentyear past ironically helped protect the UK from currentyear now.

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

Hopefully poorly.

 

[Squawking Macaw]

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.

Leftist brit women are more likely to be anti-tranny, but they're generally still pro-immigrant, which is a bit of a problem when you consider there's a lot more illegals than trannies and they're just as rapey, if not more so.
