UK Supreme Court rules transwomen not women under UK law - UK law's definition of a woman is based on biological sex
Legal definition of woman is based on biological sex, UK supreme court rules
Fuck this country. I am sincerely worried that some of my friends will do something stupid today. Please check on any UK trans people you know repeatedly this week.
Mmm yes interesting
To any trans people. Live, please. Do whatever you must to survive this hostility. The pendulum of reaction will subside, it has before, it will again, and we'll need you at the vanguard.
I'm not in the UK but that's the plan
Terf island continues to terf
That really fucking sucks
"the 88-page ruling"
These fucks are laughing at you.
Why do the worst people always fucking win?
Awful. Whole Western world was already bad obviously but it feels like things are getting more horrible so rapidly. Sorry y'all are going through this over there.
UK continuing the proud tradition of choosing to do the worst thing it could out of any given situation.
About what you expect when the ruling class are a bunch of inbred freaks.
nothing more than playing around with legislation to try and reverse the progress that has been made over recent decades. it will fail just as all other attempts have, even the Nazi regime could not manage it. we can't go back to a time when trans people didn't exist. there never has been one.
I sure hope you're right but I am not so certain.
This throws the equality act into all kinds of issues. There will need to be a rewrite. Eventually when that rewrite happens it will occur with a misogynistic homophobic hate group funded by friend-to-nazis JK Rowling currently holding the ear of government.
I'll be bad, but remember that not too long ago there were laws criminalising homosexuality (and often trans people got caught in the crossfire.) I know a few old butch lesbian types who would pretend to be gay cis men so the others could escape during a raid since the laws didn't effect them as much.
The United Kingdom can only be cleansed with fire.
Stay safe out there you all.
I think that the best thing you can do, right now, is to reach out to the transgender people in your lives and tell them you care, and if applicable, that you love them. This goes doubly so for the ones in the UK. I imagine that most, if not all of us really need to be told that someone gives a shit.
Yeah, there's much, much more to be done but I think that would be a nice place to start.
Since i can't directly speak with the trans people i know personally ill just reply to you in hopes some read it:
Trans people are super brave and awesome and i love them! Their courage to be who they are, and their description of "something doesn't fucking fit" literally inspired me to look inside myself and come out as ace! No I'm not exaggerating! I owe a lot of who i am rn to just lurking threads and learning new ways to understand gender! I love y'all so much it's probably a lil creepy! I'm not a chaser! oh no that seems like something a chaser would say! Ill shut up now!
Up with trans!
Instructions unclear. Mistakenly sexually propositioned every trans person I now.
This seems worse than what even the worst US states (like Texas) are doing.
And this is under the "progressive" government lol. Labour are literally just Tories.
The establishment will defend class systems with violence even as they are being deconstructed. There is no saviour for us except us.
i hate this wretched isle so much
This kind of thing freaks me out a lot. Wishing you all the best obviously. I don't know what else to say.
If anyone has the sudden urge to kill their own braincells, here’s the full judgement:

It's circular logic and they're playing all the classics
If we care about trans women then what if we want to discriminate against them?
Everyone knows what a biological woman is. Our conclusion solved, we will now take 88 pages (interesting number) to arrive at it to obfuscate this.
Chuds win everything as fucking always.
And they'll still pout and seethe
Chuds win everything as fucking alwa
And they'll still find some way to claim they're the opressed victim and that the communists secretly control everything. Fuck those delusional, evil people

Death to the UKKK.
I hate this place

Well, the UKSC isn't a real or legitimate governing body, so I'm not sure what the fuss is about. 🤷♀️
So in the UK trans-men must play in women's sports now otherwise that's discrimination against "women"? Or is that exempt?
