Dundee too! Slessor Gardens @ 1pm
I might pop round to show my support 🙂
All these protests by people who didn’t bother to read the full court decision. Nothing changes for trans people under the equality act.
But leave it up to the illiterate to protest something they have no power to change.
Any whispers of a Glasgow edition?
Might tidy the garage out.
Erased?
Just because the supreme court recognises a difference in women and trans woman does not mean they are trying to erase them, the main difference is one was born a women the other used to be a man but changed their gender, a man can never biologically become a women because that is set in their dna at conception the time for changing sex is never an option for anyone, puberty isn’t a curse it’s a stage in a woman’s or mans life to full adulthood, if anyone wants to hate on me for stating what has happened for millions of years with not just humans but so many other animals that allow them to develop their fertility then please do because puberty is gona happen to everyone and I don’t think many people liked that time in their life but it’s just how life is, but if you wana use drugs to fight it then your just stunting yourself in life, I feel like just saying all that would constitute bigotry and hatred just because it goes against the narrative we should be drugging and removing body parts from our kids just because they are uncomfortable with themselves again at some point we all go through tough times but they aren’t forever.
TRANS PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROTECTIONS AS MEN AND WOMEN, THE FACT THEY LEGALLY SHALL REMAIN DISTINCT DOESNT MEAN THEY HAVE BEEN LEFT VULNERABLE.
Oh for heaven’s sake, why are you so melodramatic? No one is erasing you. This ruling is to protect women, it is good, rational decision.
Can we just go back to a world where this wasn’t an issue please. That would be nice. Before everyone became all narcissistic and we had collective responsibility for the greater good
Not to give the game away, but I love it when transphobes crawl out of the woodwork to comment on posts like these, as if their engagement isn’t making this post more visible to the people who need to see it.

Why not just have a 3rd bathroom? You have woman space, mens spaces and trans spaces then. But when it comes to the likes of prisons and sports then biological is the sensible way to go.

This is a ridiculous stance and I’m sorry but this will lose you support and rightly so.
The supreme court is not your fucking enemy. It doesn’t exist to rule in every pressure group’s favour, it doesn’t exist to rule as the government wants it to. It exists to decide things based on current laws. You lot keep this up and you’ll have a supreme court that panders to everyone and anything, ignoring laws and making up its own rulings based on feelings or through fear of retribution. That’s not a good thing. Your community will suffer more as a result of that.
If the Trans community and allies aren’t happy then they need to direct anger towards the law as it stands and the law makers. Get them to address the issue and make changes through democratic means. If anything you should be happy that this has finally been laid out in the open. You now know what to fight for and you now know how the legal system apparently fails you. You’re not exempt from legal frameworks. Every single one of us has to live within the law and we don’t get to shoot the messenger if the law isn’t what we hope it would be. We absolutely have the right to lobby and convince our elected officials to change laws though.
But protesting the SC and saying the ruling is erasing you is pathetic and will only turn more people against you.
All the Supreme Court has done is to confirm what every single rational person with even the most rudimentary understanding of genetics and sexual characteristics knows. Trans women are not biological women. It’s as simple as that. No one is erasing your gender identity.
To the gender critical folk: there are young people and people under the age of 18 who are trans and going through transition my question is how are you going to enforce this idea of gender because it’s really f***** up and really creepy to be f****** obsessed with people’s genitals
“This action won’t help win people over to your cause” – people who don’t support your cause anyway
What are you protesting? Why no more details? Are you paying??

The Equality Act Statutory Code of Practice has been about almost as long as the act itself and uses that terminology. It also says trans people should be accommodated according to their gender, and as its statutory it is “the law of the land”. But for some reason that never seems to be reported in the media.
When did all this even become an “issue”. 30 years ago I used to drink in a pub in Perth and there was a trans woman who was a regular. Nobody gave a fuck. Ever. There were no “jokes” or smarmy comments. She was in most days after work and just living her life.
Used the ladies and nobody gave a fuck.
30 years ago.
Oh fuck off would you
