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.

It set the SNP on fire so let Labour do the same. The only sad thing is that their supporters will flock to the Greens, who are pretty pro-child fuckers and trannies.

Oh wow, an even less popular party than the tories.

This ruling is based more around hating and restricting men than it is protecting women.

Yes. This is a sad day for men. Our god-given right to dress as women and do whatever the fuck we want has been stolen from us. /sneed

Its a good start UK, now do free speech and "hate speech" laws too, MEGA, make England great again.

Lots of coping and seething on Instagram from handmaidens and "allies" like this post here.

The trans community and its movement are completely oblivious that the backlash from "TERFS" wouldn't have been so severe if the trans community just stopped turning a blind eye and listened instead of throwing hands and sending women like JK Rowling death and rape threats? How many more incidents of MTFs making females in intimate spaces like hospital wards and locker rooms uncomfortable, beating up women in sports, sexually assaulting women, etc. had to happen to the point where this ruling needed to be put in place?

Do people think that judges are able to do nhs work on people?

Ya know it is always fun to check out the ole reddit whenever shit like this occurs because you always wind up finding amusing little mini-cows in the comments whenever you click the name of a random screaming retard

Take this thread here


Dig through the delightful comments about how the UK is now literally Nazi germany and how using a unisex bathroom was literal jim crow segregation, and you come across predictable "TROON UPRISING NOW!" squeals


Pulling the thread a lil I went on to their profile page and it turns out he is a french canadian troon who likes to whack off over molesting ancient greek goddesses


....and being molested by greek gods


Utterly pointless tangent I know, but I find it is always worth wasting a minute or two whenever you see an especially autistic reddit comment to follow the trail and see just how short their bus truly is

This ruling is based more around hating and restricting men than it is protecting women.

I no more want my son forced to share toilets and changing rooms with trans'men' than I want to share them with AGPs. Girls identifying as boys scare me as a mother, because I think they are more likely than not to have a Cluster B disorder, and they are also likely spoiled and indulged by their parents and other caregivers. They don't present a physical danger to men and boys but they represent a danger of feeling aggrieved and making life destroying accusations.

Any ruling that keeps those girls separate from boys is a very good thing for boys and men.

Cuck Island growing a spine?

Anyway, feminists and trannies both deserve liquidation.

Trannies don't want to be thought of as trannies (who are men), they want to be lawfully defined as biological women.

they do - if it's to their advantage. it's similar to a certain tribe being white when it suits them.

trannies want to be special snowflakes and expect everyone to validate that. they want to be trans because in their mind it puts them above women (especial cis, but also lesbians). there's a reason they say "trans rights" are human rights - not woman rights. woman are way lower on the oppression stack, their "fight for equality" is long over, despite what third/fourth wave feminists babble on tumblr (ironically same ones glorifying islam). that's why it's very important for them to make sure everyone knows they're trans-women - not just women.

the salt of the ruling comes from the fact that they're not special anymore and the same rules for different genders applies to them like everybody else, whatever they make up in their head.

The threats, violence and oppressive behavior are the whole objective. They want to stir up shit in the hope of destabilizing society. That's why the tranny foundational book, "Gender Trouble", has the title it has.

All the "living authentically" nonsense is just the excuse for stirring up shit. If troons stopped being assholes, they'd have nothing left.

Composed eh?

 

[namelesstacotruck]

* Trannies have protection from discrimination in hiring. So a tranny interviews for a job. Doesn’t get it. Sues for discrimination. If they manage to get discovery in their lawsuit, they have to pray that someone put transphobic stuff in writing. Most businesses are smart enough to say the rejection was due to “culture fit”. Lawsuit over.

You dont have to write a rejection reason at all. You may have to write why you went with the person you did choose. Even that might not be required. And most standard interviews its just a score with some notes. At worst if its a panel interview it may raise some questions if 1 persons score is way different than other people.

 

[autistic dog]

Can you explain why?

The UK entire welfare system coddles women. They don't want thay right extended to men in dresses or any man ever.

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

These extremely violent males should be treated as the criminals they are.

People can agree with JKR on some things, such as trannies are dangerous sex offenders that should be locked up and also at the same time disagree with JKR on other issues.

Why are these people so retarded?

I remember a time when we could say "hey, I agree with you about this, but I disagree with you about other things" and this would be okay.

But that was before
