U.K. Top Court Says Trans Women Do Not Meet Legal Definition of Women Under Equality Act​

Britain’s Supreme Court was asked to rule on whether trans women can be defined as female under a British law that aims to protect against discrimination.

The Supreme Court in Britain ruled on Wednesday that trans women do not fall within the legal definition of women under the country’s equality legislation.

The deputy president of the court, Lord Hodge, said in a summary of the decision: “The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 refer to biological women and biological sex.”

However, he added: “We counsel against reading this judgment as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another, it is not.” He said the ruling “does not cause disadvantage to trans people” because they have protections under anti-discrimination and equality laws.

The landmark judgment follows a yearslong legal battle over whether trans women can be regarded as female under the 2010 law, which aims to prevent discrimination on the basis of gender, sexuality, race and other protected characteristics.

The decision was highly anticipated because it could have potentially far-reaching consequences for how the law is applied to single sex spaces, equal pay claims and maternity policies as well as to some of the rights available to transgender people in Britain.

I like how they note that she makes 100 million a year just so people can realize that what she donated is just her pocket change, not "the harry potter money."

I don't know why you got neg rates for this post. 10-15 years ago, JK Rowling was telling Britons that if they had a spare room, they should house an illegal migrant in it. You know, for diversity. She got put in her place when people spammed her with "how many spare rooms do you have in your mansion, Joanne?"

How quickly people forget.

People are fucking retards and think just because the cunt doesn't like troons that she's on their "side". As if she isn't still a fag hag who loves nigger washing and destroying her own culture for diversity points.

I think this is a fair take on the matter. Trannies became the greatest threat overwhelmingly. Yes Rowling is a radfem. And? Troons are worse. You can still agree what a man or woman is with Rowling. You can't with a tranny because they're fucking insane.

“The enemy of my enemy”. Matter closed.

Twitter is already going nuts over the ruling. There are already demands to repeal the Gender Recognition Act, which made trannies a protected species and gives them a now largely useless certificate with "woman" stamped on it. Screenshots coming.

About time the adults stepped in and shut down this batshit insanity.

Troons actually thought some fake lie document declaring them "women" in defiance of obvious reality meant anything. It meant as much as some hick legislature declaring the value of pi to be 3 because "muh Bible."

Supreme courts are either corrupt dick sucking liberals or the only sane individuals in power left.

There is no in between

Name one problem in the UK that the US doesn't have an analogue for thats worse

When it comes to troonery, street level violence or violence in schools, immigration of muh brownz, cop overreach and overreaction aimed at the least dangerous of alleged offenders backed up by local authorities and ignored by national gubmint even as it crushes civil rights, sexual exploitation of children on the fringe of society by organised crime rings, and general wokeshit vomited into every unguarded institution by random activists and consultants the argument will inevitably go back and forth and become ever more shrill and autistic even before the mindless edgetards weigh in.

The US has the solid advantage of freedom of speech and self defence being hard coded into a written constitution rather than a mess of often contradictory judicial rulings and acts of parliament utterly subject to interpretation by cops and judges at best

The UK has the softer advantage of this aforementioned mess also applying to various measures being made to hardcode/firmcode woke and leftist cancers causing them to generally fall apart the moment they get legally tested as shown with this judicial ruling, as opposed to shit being legislated down at a state or federal level which makes it that much easier for DEI/affirmative action to be hard backed by the gubmint.

Odds are I oversimplified/straight up bullshitted the above a fair amount but the general point is that as different as each country's constitutional/institutional nature might be, the problems are inevitably much the same and thus anything that works for one should be studied and adapted by the others.

Billionaire boomer woman trolls thousands with an iPhone and 30 seconds. We should all aspire to that.

Edit: not the woman part, necessarily, keep your tackle attached, gentlemen.

Definitely freedom of speech, good point. Imagine being jailed for posting rap lyrics on your facebook after your friend was stabbed, lmao.

Immigration of browns is pretty comparable. We'll see if Trump's new line holds or not. It might make a difference over time.

They cannot deal with the slightest bit of disagreement. It's like a child throwing a tantrum from being told he can't have another cookie, except it's a grown ass adult.

 

[Shroom King]

Sorry to barge in as an Amerifat, and this is of course better than nothing, but I can't stand this half-measure "oh we wouldn't want to make a fuss" take on it. Though hopefully it's just one small stepping stone for TTD. Though if it legally BTFO's trannies then that's all good all the same.

Considering that these are people willing to have a meltdown and attempt suicide over pronouns I think having them officially and publicly be misgendered by the UK Supreme Court is in our best interests.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

It is also like "Chris Chan" getting "Walsh Derangement Syndrome" and "Snyder Derangement Syndrome", after they told him "no" in '00s.

Thought you said "Welsh Derangement Syndrome" and was wondering for a moment if he had an HP Lovecraft moment upon checking his incestry.com results

I'm glad it's making the trannies seethe, but this really is a weird photo. The pose is so strange. The Tate comparison is funny, at least that guy knows how to look smug instead of hiding behind a drink, a smoke, a gigantic ring, etc.

The UK adopting a Supreme Court is actually one of these things. While I obviously think the general concept of a Supreme Court is a good idea, I hadn't been really convinced of the concept and was pretty ambivalent about how the UK Supreme Court was actually working. I thought the Law Lords had been doing a better job. I still think they were.

But this is definitely a moment where they've shown they actually have some institutional merit. This is exactly why you have a Supreme Court. To shut down absolute batshit mob insanity. It's an "anti-democratic" institution, but sometimes you need exactly that, because democracy is stupid.

 

[babadook]

I know 'imagine if the roles were reversed' is low hanging fruit but in this case that doesn't really apply since it's a man in both cases.

Because its an old lady who never smoked a cigar in her life taking a selfie solely to clown on screaming crossdressing preverts on social media as part of a seven year internet war.

As questionable as the context is when you think about it, she can be forgibben her dats for looking a lil awkward
