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.

Wow these comments against JKR seem very violent and problematic. The rozzas shoyld take this issue very srsly

They won't. UK Police are more focused on if you said something bad about the government or your car having a loud exhaust over a bunch of minorities wishing death on one woman.

 

[PointOfNoReturnPoint]

She is based AF.

I can hear the snark and confidence in the phot, just fucking top notch.

 

[Literal Horsefucker]

"Erm smoking and drinking is bad for you"
What are you, a highschool teacher? She can celebrate in whatever way she pleases you halfwit.

Yeah, I'm actually glad that you do this to yourselves, nevermind. Have a drink. Have a fag. Be a good goy.

 

[We... We are aliens!]

I guess the British Supreme Court hasn't been corrupted to the point of claiming 2 + 2 = 5 (yet), and the eunuchoid seethe is quite funny. But don't forget that the British government is still attempting to replace the native white British population via mass immigration and is still legally discriminating against white people, especially white men.

 

[Moths]

Dummy, I get that she's celebrating. She just happens to introduce some real awful rot into her body as she celebrates and for some reason it bothers me, which I expressed.
There are better ways to celebrate.

Listen to this fucken soft cunt complaining about someone else drinking and smoking. What's wrong buddy don't produce enough testosterone to handle a smoke?

Please, the trans movement is dead, let us stop hearing the names of hormones for a little while.

There's nothing incidental about it. Trannies are singled out and given the full protection of the law.

It's a decision about a troon case. How else would it be phrased?

Troons do have the full protection of the law. But again, not because they're troons but because they're male.

From the part you quoted:

Again, the individual employee's sex plays an unmistakable and impermissible role in the discharge decision.

Edit: Essentially this decision doesn't make it a requirement for jobs to permit trannies to wear skirts; it makes it a requirement for jobs to permit men to wear skirts, and it says that includes trannies. The distinction is important.

 

[TelluricAge]

The Queen of the Terfs has finally succeeded, now the people of Britain will be free to watch their children be raped and groomed by Pakistanis instead of troons.

 

[BongoMongo]

So now men will have to deal with perverted transvestites who have been given too much in way of coddling in their toilets and spaces. This has been foisted on women for too long.

I hope this will further push people to despise troons all the more.

Himdia Willyby is a man and will always remain so. He will never be a woman.

 

[Berrakh]

Ah yes, threatening rape and murder, the most feminine of crimes.

It’s a classic incel and groyper response too. Specifically the weakest of the male race.

 

[NoonmanR]

Lord Hodge is going to get firebombed like a Tesla dealership for telling the truth and ruling correctly.

No way, the british are subservient dogs who can't even make a bad remark without being sent to prison, and the muslims don't care.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

hmm I would have never guessed that Rowling was a fan of the original A-Team

That's where that quote comes from for all you kiddies. The leader of the A-Team Hannibal always said that at the end of an episode while smoking a cigar.

that's ok, I still think Rowling is a feminist nutcase.

 

[Qui-Gon's Gin]

Troons do have the full protection of the law. But again, not because they're troons but because they're male.

From the part you quoted:

The difference between a troon and a woman is that the troon is male. Saying that an employer cannot consider that difference is the same as saying that they cannot discriminate against troons.

 

[No More Beef]

Trannies must have it pretty easy if the most important issue on their minds is whether or not the government recognizes their right to use the women's restroom. I don't think they're being persecuted enough.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

but you have to admire the desire to stand up for your beliefs enough to be that level of hate magnet.

She left an abusive monster who hit her for years. She knows how to deal with violent, deranged men.

 

[grocerygoblin]

jkr coming across as super based in that photo

 

[Allakazam223]

Why are the troons allowed to cry for violence? I thought the bobbies come knocking if you oppose the government in the UK.

 

[Marvin]

The difference between a troon and a woman is that the troon is male. Saying that an employer cannot consider that difference is the same as saying that they cannot discriminate against troons.

They can't. But that's because they can't discriminate against men and troons are men.

Troons seething about the Queen of TERF Island.

I am genuinely not the same species as these people. Not an exaggeration. We're as different as humans and Neanderthals. Maybe I'll end up on Mars

 

[TR0N]

I've never been prouder to be a former Harry Potterfag than I am anytime JK Rowling posts something that throws trannies into a conniption.
