UK Supreme Court says legal definition of ‘woman’ excludes trans women, in landmark ruling

[Scoutster]

Very good ruling in my opinion, good to see some common sense every now and again.

Great ruling!

 

[JGalt]

Apparently the Brits aren't so far gone that they can't define the word "woman."

Jolly good show.

A little common sense is just as simple as that. I'm jealous they could accomplish something so straightforward and sensible as easily and clearly as they just did. I wish we still had that ability here.

Just need the US to catch up

Supreme Court backs 'biological' definition of woman

The landmark ruling could have major implications for how sex-based rights apply across Scotland, England and Wales.

I suppose wet flannel Tommy Tit will be in tears over that ruling, he loves the tranny movement.

UK Supreme Court says legal definition of ‘woman’ excludes trans women​

Really? It took their Supreme Court to decide that??? I would have hoped that such a conclusion was blatantly SELF-EVIDENT.

I mean, we are not talking about Buicks on a Ford chassis here.

Perhaps the more relevant observation is that our own Supreme Court still has not made that simple ruling.

For those, like yourself, struggling with simple biology, a flow chart has been issued -

You have all the freedom in the world to grasp it.

If I see it the right way then "trans" means every man has the right to be called woman. But this self-definition is in contradiction to the will of our western societies women to be treated equally. Only the verbal statement of a man "I am a woman" should not have enough power to undermine equal rights.

 

[zaangalewa]

For those, like yourself, struggling with simple biology ...

As far as I can see this "trans-woman" was in biology just simple a man and not an intersexuell individuum. Are you able to explain what's the exact definition of a man who is a trans-woman - and what of this definition is not only a verbal opinion but a biological fact? How do you know that a man who says "I am a trans-woman" is really a trans-woman and not only a man? Exists for this any objective criterion?

Yes, a man transitioning to a woman is a man. What goes on in their head doesn't alter fact and nature.

Glad about this, the Trans insanity has gone too far, why did it take three high court Judges to state the obvious? just look at the bloody Birth certificate, we can't have the situation where some big hairy bloke in a dress decides he is a Woman and uses Womens facilities.

For me it is very important what someone thinks about the own person and I will accept this - but maybe the concrete question in this case is: "Who would not play to be a woman if he can make a lot of money with it - instead of a real woman who has to get this job on reason of equal rights of men and women?"

They aren't when it comes to speech, that's for sure.

But even a broken clock is right twice a day, and this one they got right.

America : Freedom of speech - Say bullshit with little accountability

UK and EU - Freedom of Expression - Say bullshit with accountability

My Pillow guy was one of the very few in the US to come out with a pile of bullshit and get sued for it. And that's the difference with both continents, by all means say what you want, but in the UK and EU, you better have evidence to back your claim, if not, wise to just not come out with the bullshit.

Also, many cases in the news when folk are arrested for Freedom of expression, what was the outcome because the courts can't breach people's Rights to Article 10 of the Human Rights act.
