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.

[Judge Holden]

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.

Troons became more obnoxious and more insufferable than her and her ilk. That is the cold hard truth of the matter.

Maybe they gatekept to hell and back circa....like fifteen years ago give or take.... then maybe base tolerance for troons under the notion they were just a tiny subset of boring normies not worth wasting perfectly good shit by throwing it at them would have grown to the point where any backlash would have been soft and muted

But that did not happen did it?

Instead we had a decade plus of pastel painted screaming squealing social media retards jumping aboard the identity for special snowflake points and each going out of their way to be louder and more annoying than the last along with ever more media and corporate outlets praising and platforming them, a never ending spiral of perverted fetishists and sickfucks who suddenly realised they could openly act out their degenerate fantasies with impunity even if they were straight up sexually harassing/assaulting women and children, and a veritable army of sneering little authoritarians eager to financially, professionally, or reputationally profit from bullying corporations and institutions and the public like into utter compliance while gleefully hunting down and punishing even the tiniest whisper of dissent and revelling in destroying the lives of those accused by the mob of transphobia.

And so, any potential shit Rowling and her grain of leftist/liberal might inflict upon society became a real fucking distant secondary/tertiary consideration compared to the shit inflicted by troons in the here and now. Thus we get this kind of fucking backlash and every nigger here and beyond enjoying the moment before we gird ourselves for the next cringecancer

I want the world to make a ruling stating no trannies are allowed on Reddit.

You can’t cut out a cancer that has completely consumed its host.

No the ruling specifically says that only actual women are considered women when it comes to the use of single sex spaces, and it specifically categorizes trannys as men using the language "men who identify as women". They still have protections from getting say fired at work because they're trans, but it all just comes down to boilerplate anti-discrimination law. But they are to be considered men when it comes to sex rights.

This is a kill shot to gender ideology and will have huge ramifications especially since its backed by all three major parties.

Even that is nonsense though because there is no particular reason to single this out as opposed to people who identify as an elephant or as a different race.

 

[NotreallyPutin]

All the ruling said is that sex refers to biological sex and these maniacs go absolutely nuts. Their existence, and mental wellbeing, completely depends on the validation of other people. It requires other people to give up their right to an opinion, to logic, to thought, and to common sense.

This is the definition of a parasitic creature. I don't know why western trans people, or Westerners in general, are like this.

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

After “painstaking analysis” by the UK’s top legal scholars, they have determined that men have willies and women have hoo-has

Even children knew this:

maybe they will just be a notable rape and suicide statistic, just as nature intended

 

[whitesavior]

Even that is nonsense though because there is no particular reason to single this out as opposed to people who identify as an elephant or as a different race.

Go and read the judgement if you don't understand the context. This was needed due to confusion between the provisions in different pieces of legislation having real life consequences on the definition of single sex spaces, resulting in several current legal cases about men identifying as women, like the Sandie Peggie one.

wasn't expecting the TTD judgement from a bunch of faggots in bad wigs and wearing dresses, but I will take this as a win.

 

[A-Stump]

The UK is filling up with Muslims at a breakneck speed, the trannies have always had their days numbered there. If they think this is bad wait until they learn what being a real minority is and start getting chucked off rooftops by the religion of peace.

 

[consul_dondas]

It requires other people to give up their right to an opinion, to logic, to thought, and to common sense.

Almost like these creatures were empowered for this specific purpose.

 

[Hunter Hearst Helmsley]

I have a former British friend who trooned out by taking troonshine bought in shady sites and later cut all contact with me, but before that he made sure to act like an asshole whenever I said anything slightly gender critical. Hopefully he's in agony right now.

Also I was shared this screenshot so I had to look it up.

I like how they note that she makes 100 million a year just so people can realize that what she donated is just her pocket change, not "the harry potter money."

I know 'imagine if the roles were reversed' is low hanging fruit but in this case that doesn't really apply since it's a man in both cases.

My cynical thought is this is a pressure valve to get terfs and women back on the plantation.

 

[moocow]

I hope this means that the Anglosphere is healing

Did you see all the apologetics in the ruling? It pained the judge to write this and to issue the ruling this way. They're begging not to be lynched or viewed as homo/transphobic. They're cucking mid-judgment. There's healing happening, but it ain't in the UK.

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

I guess the Brits have to take their W's where they can get them.

 

[The Tall Man]

This is very amusing and ultimately meaningless. Troons will just use this to validate their identity even more. Their identity has never been woman, it has always been super-special woman that is actually more valid because xer is extremely oppressed.
Make being a troon and promoting troonery criminal offenses punishable by the death penalty.

I hate trans people! Weeeeeee!

This is the definition of a parasitic creature. I don't know why western trans people, or Westerners in general, are like this.

It is because they consider themselves special snowflakes who think that any sort of 'discrimination' against them is a free pass for them to platform how society is shit and therefore they deserve to be allowed in women's restrooms and vice versa.

You can't even joke about troons without someone getting offended. Nor can you ever refer to them by their biological self. Look at keffals for example, he started his shit claiming we harassed him when all the farms did was simply document his (publicly avaliable) buffoonery. So he started all this drama about being in fear for his life because 'muh rights', fleeing to Ireland and shit.
