Venting Supreme Court Ruling on Trans Women.

[lucyanne]

As expected the Supreme Court have ruled on the rights of trans women in law and decided trans women are not protected by law as women.

The EHCR (equalities dept of our government) have made a statement saying the will act at pace to enact this as it pertains to discrimination and law re trans women.

What this effectively does is removes protections for trans women in law and society against discrimination due to the recent change in phrasing to allow discrimination based on gender identity IF it achieves a specific aim.

The loose terminology makes this unable to actually be legally acted upon as it is too ambiguous.


So please everyone spare a thought for the trans and non binary people of the UK.

This is disgusting and absolutely appalling. I expect this kinda crap from the Trump administration, but never would I have believed something like this would happen in the UK.

You'd think in modernized society things would be progressing forward rather than so far backwards. I'm so very sorry for the toxic climate you're facing over there. My heart is with you all.

It felt like this came so far out of left field. I'm utterly appauled. Feels like there are ripple effects of intollerance anytime Trump weasels his way into office.

The actual ruling means very litte. Most trans people don't have GRC's, and it was always possible to exclude trans people if for proportionate reasoning. Trans people today can still use female toilets etc etc.

The problem is the media and goverment jumping on it to mean more than it does. Already getting headlines that defnitiob of woman has been ruled which is bs, just in reference to what it means in the equality act.

The problem we have is the last goverment filled the ECHR with transphobes and commissioned the cass report and Sullivan review knowing both were gender critical (Sullivan is a member of an anti trans rights group ffs).

The Labour goverment came and have only stepped up the transphobia up a gear. They had a chance to change the staff in ECHR but extended their contracts and blissfully ignored the bias im in the reports.Wes streeting seems to have made full out war of under 18 transgender people, blocking treatment and denying them to be able to change their gender on the nhs platform.

I can guarantee Wes streeting has been licking his lips for his verdict to change nhs policy to exclude trans people from wards and toilets. Doesn't matter that the ruling meant nothing it just an excuse for them to spew more suffering on transgender people. God forbid what will come out of the adult gender care review.

Just another example of the real people who push people towards sucide, it ain't people on this forum.
Also they state gender reassignment is protected Charaeristic for discrimination and harassment, but the police never enforce this.

The stuff people say on X about transgender people would get them locked up if it was any other minority, but when it's against transgender people it's just 'freedom of speech'.

Rowling should have served multiple prison terms by now.

We all understand who's doing this to us. So many of us know people who ended up taking their own lives for reasons directly traceable to pointlessly cruel state policies like this - I've outright stopped being able to count the trans people I've known who've done so.

They can throw my ashes at Wes Streeting's face.
