March for Trans Liberation. I’ve already seen both people downplaying and exaggerating the impact of the supreme court’s ruling. It doesn’t necessarily take away rights, but allows for exclusion of trans people from more women’s or men’s spaces, so allows some level of intolerance and unrecognition.

1. to add, its best to protest, even if its a relatively small thing compared to what’s happening in other places, its best to show that we don’t tolerate this shite, before they get bolder.

2. Wow the comments there are disappointing

3. Nah.

4. There’s also a demo in Swansea tomorrow at 1pm

5. Yes it does exclude trans people from certain spaces, but it’s the most basic level. Trans women’s existence doesn’t hurt women’s rights. But not having spaces for biological women does hurt women’s rights. This case originally came because a biological man who raped two women was put in a women’s prison.

6. The supreme court’s ruling was correct. Pass.

7. I’ll be at the big one down in London.

   The official ruling is segregation. No trans positive groups were allowed to speak while three “gender critical” groups were allowed.

   The judge who made the ruling is next door neighbours with Rowling, who funds those hate groups.

   We’ve been telling people for the past 15 years that this is happening, and we either get told we’re over-reacting at best, or get asked why they should give a shit.

   Don’t worry, everyone. I’m sure in fifty years time, you’ll shake your head sadly and say “I knew it was wrong but it was a different time”

8. Nobody’s really exaggerating it. Within 24 hours of the ruling both British and Scottish transport security issued new guidance that said strip searches will be in line with biological sex. Men will strip search trans women, women will strip trans men regardless of any sex change surgery or GRC. The guidance does not say how biological sex can be identified, so any male police officer or transport security can just claim a cis woman is a trans woman and unless she’s got her birth certificate on her showing her biological sex, the male officer is doing the strip search.

9. I’m going to try and be there!

10. Keep putting up the good fight, thank you for sharing this info 💜💜
