The UK’s Anti-Trans Ruling Is a Defeat for All Women

Astonishingly, the ruling specifies that what it calls “women living in the male gender”—i.e., trans men, and cis women whose appearance is deemed masculine—“could also be excluded” alongside cis men, from women’s spaces. “Not being allowed into the mens by rule does not mean you have the right to go into the ladies,” clarified the leading anti-trans campaigner Maya Forstater; “That may seem unfair, but these are life choices people make. If you make extreme efforts to look like a man don’t be surprised if you are denied entrance to ladies.” Forstater’s comments underscore the ultimate goal of TERFs and other transphobes: to expunge trans people from public life.

that's crazy they really secured the right to kick ANYONE out of a "woman's space" and said "it's not my problem if you can't go anywhere". so much for not being transphobic, they won't even give us "separate but equal"

It's a defeat for all humans because trans rights are human rights and fucking up human rights never stops with the fascists' first victims.
