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.

Does that mean some 5 foot 2, double mastectomy pooner will never be a man?

Sorry Elliot, boys only.

Love it when they don't get their way they immediately go to threats of violence or wanting to kill others, definitely sane individuals.

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.

First you post all sorts of weird shit in the porn cows thread, now this, you are never beating the weirdo allegations you fuckin creep

I don't know why you got neg rates for this post. 10-15 years ago, JK Rowling was telling Britons that if they had a spare room, they should house an illegal migrant in it. You know, for diversity. She got put in her place when people spammed her with "how many spare rooms do you have in your mansion, Joanne?"

How quickly people forget.

So... how long have you been making Troonshine in your bathtub?

I hope Rowling has protection. One of these troons is going to try to assassinate her. Watch it be Ellen Page.

It should never have come to this, but still an Incredibly rare UK W.

People are fucking retards and think just because the cunt doesn't like troons that she's on their "side". As if she isn't still a fag hag who loves nigger washing and destroying her own culture for diversity points.

Vagina Museum is big mad right now.

I hate trans people! Weeeeeee!

Believe you mean trans “people”.

And she's ginger. So she would be played by a nigger in her own biopic.

People did not forget, they merely are prioritising the screaming death of troonshit over whatever ineffectual whiny shit rowling might latch on to again once its in the ground.

Also for the record, while I alluded to her "CENSOR EVERYONE I DONT LIKE BECAUSE TROLLS ARE MEAN!" antics circa 2017, I think a far more amusing example you could have used is this mournful xeet about how brexit means her favourite sushi joint will be banned and replaced with something icky and filled with unwashed proles


Quite why the UK leaving the EU would result in overpriced Japanese restaurants being banned, and why this would matter to anyone outside her smug clique of rich and insufferable London based assholes (ya know...before they denounced her) was never explained.

As I said before on the Idubbz thread, I have no illusions she won't inevitably turn back to spreading different strains of cringe and cancer going forwards but so long as she flails at worse cringecancer I am content to just enjoy the fireworks

 

[Pluciferous]

Vagina Museum is big mad right now.

When the staff of the Vagina Museum heard the news, every muscle of their bodies clenched.

…which is more than a tranny’s stinkditch will ever be able to do.

 

[WelperHelper99]

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 think this is a fair take on the matter. Trannies became the greatest threat overwhelmingly. Yes Rowling is a radfem. And? Troons are worse. You can still agree what a man or woman is with Rowling. You can't with a tranny because they're fucking insane.

She's always been an ultra-liberal, snobby elite who doesn't give a single fuck about the country, its' people or its heritage.
Her and her ilk are a bigger threat to the UK because they're the ones pushing tranny shit, infinityniggers and retarded policies that destroy our families, society and country.
Her hard drive should be checked.

 

[Qui-Gon's Gin]

It doesn't need to be. All our antidiscrimination legislation in the US is defined in terms of sex, which is unambiguous.

The Supreme Court ruled in Bostock v. Clayton County that those laws protect trannies.

 

[Lemmingwiser]

Is the UK still arguing over the definition of a woman? Given all the problems that shithole country has? lol

Name one problem in the UK that the US doesn't have an analogue for thats worse

This. Politely clapping from the sidelines while she bankrolls TTD is fine. She is still going in the lime pit.

How dare Gene Wilder and the UK Supreme Court “sir” me!

Unironically, logically speaking, it's legal lobotomization if trannies are legitimized by any court of law or governing body.

The rightful punishment for such an offense against God and nature should be to place a fully grown Siberian tiger in the same room with said "woman" for a full 24 hours and insist they call it a "kitty grooming session."

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.

Don't the muslims have an exception for men and or boys who look enough like females to be catamites for cataracted imams? Instead, I would ask English trannies to make drawings of Mohummud as if he was their prophet, as a woman.
