No obligation to exclude trans women under ‘misunderstood’ Supreme Court ruling, former top judge says

  2. I still have no idea how this is going to be enforced

  3. I hear all these “ legal experts” crawling out the woodwork. Where were they when needed did they stand up when it was most important or just now the ruling has been made?
    Also it matters no a bit what the precise definition is it’s a green light for all sorts of bigotry and hate.
    Scotland needs independence more than ever and to ditch a court that rules over us from England

  4. One irony is that a lot of the women I saw campaigning for this will need to be a lot more fearful of men making assumptions about them. Post menopausal hormone changes make a lot of women seem more masculine 

  6. The entire premise of this is moronic. Ignoring the fact that a trans woman’s gender can be no less female than any cis woman’s, and so the only difference is the meat mech they drive around daily, all this serves to do is provide more stable ground for harassing trans people. Under absolutely no circumstances should a trans man or woman be challenged in a single gender space, when their gender aligns with that space, particularly when there are zero alternatives. By asking a trans woman to leave a female space, you’re actively inviting trans men to use it. You can’t have it both ways.

    Unless you have any evidence that a trans woman is with statistical significance more likely to be a danger to cis women than other cis women in single gender spaces, there is no argument for this stance. People celebrating the victory of common sense are ironically the most ignorant on this topic, and seem to lack the common sense they’re citing.

    What rights are women afraid of losing by including trans women under the legal umbrella of female? You’re essentially proclaiming that trans women are not women, whereas the only real difference between a trans and cis woman for all intents and purposes is the genitalia. So unless the interactions with trans women in whichever situation people are apparently afraid of losing their woman’s rights in somehow involved the genetalia of a trans woman, respectfully – What the fuck are you even talking about?

    The obvious answer is it’s not about rights, but about discrimination, and using women’s rights as a shield to hide their discrimination behind. I see no other logical conclusion.

  7. Hmmm sounds like a new Scottish quango will be born. “Civic United Transgender Team”…. Oh no that’s doesn’t sound right….
