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.

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.

Honestly I don’t care. I don’t need everyone to have the same opinion as me on every single thing. This idea that there’s a set of correct opinions and if you subscribe to all of them you’re a goodie and if you even disagree on one you’re a baddie and all your other opinions scare worthless is mental illness - its used to divide people and stop them finding common ground and it’s literally how borderliners think.
I don’t care if she’s rich. I don’t care if she’s a liberal. Shes not my friend IRL, we don’t know each other, her opinions are her own. She’s done more to neutralise the Troon threat in this country than any other person and I’m glad of that. For that I am grateful.

She's always been an ultra-liberal, snobby elite who doesn't give a single fuck about the country, its' people or its heritage.

I don’t know her personally, but I do know people who have had dealings with her and they don’t have a bad word to say. This is in a town where inappropriate manifestation of wealth is le big nono - the millionaire wears knackered out cords and drives an ancient Volvo and to show off money is very distasteful (one’s massive pile in the Grange must be discreetly tatty.)
I don’t care if she’s rich and disagrees with me in every other subject under the sun. She’s done more for women’s rights n this one issue than most people have and she’s stuck up for the working non -loaded women who could have been ruined for having these opinions.
Those women are the real heroes here, and we owe them one. But today, it’s a W. We need to take the wins we get and build on the them - this long slow march by the troons and their enablers didn’t happen overnight and pushing them back won’t either.

So I assume this hopefully means you can open women only spaces and block access / entry to anyone who doesn't meet the criteria for a "biological woman", women only gym / Bars / sports for example without legal repercussion

I know troons have their own protection in the same equality bill but I suppose that it only goes as far to say shit like

• You can't not hire someone specifically for being a troon
• You can't eject a troon from your regular business for being a troon (theatre, restaurant et cetera)

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

On the basis of being male. They ruled that discrimination against a male person because they're male is still unlawful sex discrimination under Title VII, which is correct.

I've seen a similar complaint from a few terfs about that case. I feel like some terf source put out that hot take without actually reading the judgment and it spread through gender critical spaces.

it's a good ruling but they only did this to protect the goat fuckers from fucking trannies.

That mentality is exactly why society is currently in a state of absolute fucking retardation. Retards all think that way. That's how you can tell they're fucking retarded.

It used to be the hippies in town and the hunters could agree, despite whatever their other differences were, that there did NOT need to be a dam on a specific river, and they'd work together to stop it, despite both factions thinking the others were retarded.

Now, you have absolute bullshit like this, where idiots will suck troon cock and applaud cocks in frocks in children's changing rooms just because they disagree with J.K. Rowling about feminism in general.

As has been pointed out multiple times, muslim countries forcibly trans people they suspect of being gay, because they are all secretly buggering one another on the low-down. As long as a tranny is wearing a burka, muslims are fine with him.

That's mainly an Iranian thing. That said, they really are seriously into buggery too.

She’s done more for women’s rights n this one issue than most people have

Yeah but whatever, we have feminists to thank for the troons in the first place. Nice for one or two of them to try and sweep up the problem they created.

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

Why? The USA has always been a shithole full of European rejects and their slaves. The UK used to be something.
If your first instinct at someone ripping the piss out of the UK is ‘but but but but what about America!!!’ Then you should take a long hard look in the mirror and consider your life

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.

Word.

As much as I hate troons, people seem to forget that JK Rowling is just your garden variety crazy shitlib who loves uncontrolled immigration and teaching kids about faggotry.

She’s not your friend, and would gladly close the farms if she could for all our other thoughtcrime infractions.

And nah, not going to pretend she’s a hero for having common sense, and being rich enough to not give a f when they try to cancel her.

So feminists force degenerate men to troon out? You are talking out of your ass.

It is rather serendipitous that this shit aligned with the fact Idubbz and Anus just declared war on H3H3 as a lot of these "enjoy the fireworks but prepare for her to turn on you" advisories can pretty much be copypasted from one thread to the next due to the wide speculation that Ethan is gonna go scorched earth on his former friend and benefactee.

I’m pretty sure men were mostly in charge of things when all this gender woo woo started. Some feminists may have lobbied for these retards, but most legislation and most judicial decisions, hell even the medical practitioners designing these dumb transition mutilations were male. Ultimately it was a collaborative effort but neither sex can blame it totally on the other. Both our hands are bloody.

What you meant to say was, "thank you, men."
