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.

When it comes to troonery, street level violence or violence in schools, immigration of muh brownz, cop overreach and overreaction aimed at the least dangerous of alleged offenders backed up by local authorities and ignored by national gubmint even as it crushes civil rights, sexual exploitation of children on the fringe of society by organised crime rings, and general wokeshit vomited into every unguarded institution by random activists and consultants the argument will inevitably go back and forth and become ever more shrill and autistic even before the mindless edgetards weigh in.

The US has the solid advantage of freedom of speech and self defence being hard coded into a written constitution rather than a mess of often contradictory judicial rulings and acts of parliament utterly subject to interpretation by cops and judges at best

The UK has the softer advantage of this aforementioned mess also applying to various measures being made to hardcode/firmcode woke and leftist cancers causing them to generally fall apart the moment they get legally tested as shown with this judicial ruling, as opposed to shit being legislated down at a state or federal level which makes it that much easier for DEI/affirmative action to be hard backed by the gubmint.

Odds are I oversimplified/straight up bullshitted the above a fair amount but the general point is that as different as each country's constitutional/institutional nature might be, the problems are inevitably much the same and thus anything that works for one should be studied and adapted by the others.

Definitely freedom of speech, good point. Imagine being jailed for posting rap lyrics on your facebook after your friend was stabbed, lmao.

Immigration of browns is pretty comparable. We'll see if Trump's new line holds or not. It might make a difference over time.

UK does something based for once in its miserable existence and immediately bookends it with something extremely gay.

Not sure why I can't quote @Otterly properly.

The GRA was enacted to address a specific issue (the inability of trans people to marry in their 'acquired sex'). Since the legalisation and equalisation of gay marriage, there's no need for it - the judgement today essentially affirms that a GRC doesn't offer any additional benefits, and the gender reassignment protections in the EA2010 apply to anyone undergoing or intending to undergo gender reassignment irrespective of documentation.

Damm, I missed out on this thread. This a good start as I wrote in the other trans thread. Perhaps tackling all that Islam stuff will be next. And If it's really true that Trump will really make a deal on the condition that Starmer loosens up on freedom of speech, that'd be great.

It took an orange man himself to say a biological male was a male and the same for women, just for the rest of the world to accept it

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.

Less apologetics and more confirming that current legislation does protect trans-identified people as a separate class. It was establishing one of the many foundational reasons why trying to change the legal definition of "woman" to include trannies is not only stupid, but also pointless.

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.

He's getting negrates because it's an objectively retarded post.

A rare anglo win. To bad they cant even shitpost here. Since null has banned them from kf

I don't know why western trans people, or Westerners in general, are like this.

They truly desire to be not just a woman but a female but since both these are impossible they get mad anytime sometime tells them reality. Rarely will someone whose an alcoholic be okay when someone tells them they have a drinking problem, sadly the cold hard truth generates anger and malice at the person speaking truth. Once they desire this enough they believe any reasoning, we’d call them delusions, that confirm their desires and further and vehemently begin rejecting anything trying to take away from those “reasonings”

As far as why westerners in general have clung to troonery I’ve always held the belief that trannies are useful idiots, that people in power, who knows how far up, has seen something worthwhile in promoting the trans movement which is why it has such an unbelievable amount of support and protections for less than ~1% of the global population

If any of those troons saying they should murder rowling are in the US I wonder if that chitwood jew cop from Florida will go after them.
