The United Kingdom’s highest court ruled that the legal definition of “woman” excludes trans women, in a case with sweeping consequences for how equality laws are applied.

Britain’s Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the definition of a woman in equality legislation refers to “a biological woman and biological sex,” sparking celebrations outside court among gender-critical campaigners but warnings it was a “worrying” development for transgender people.

When's the "Arabs aren't Brits" ruling supposed to hit?

I’ve been telling you guys for a while that the UK is not down to its last gasp - not even close. If they continue down the path they are on they will eventually be lost, but I doubt that will happen.

Posters on here will cite young people as being lefties, but young Americans were lefties until they suddenly weren’t; and that was just last year.

I wish this were true but it is more of them being so far gone. Here is the path that the rest of the world needs to see and realize.

Propperous --> liberalism --> wokeism ---> islamic state.


They are probably just bowing/aligning with the mooselimbs.

Oh dear! Let me clutch my pearls! Men pretending to be women might be called a 'man' and forced to play sports against other men. How sinister and evil can you be to think this is okay!

Not so, so fast... NPR says

quote:

But Judge Hodge cautioned people in the courtroom against seeing this ruling "as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another."

U.K. law still gives transgender people protection "not only against discrimination through the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, but also against direct discrimination, indirect discrimination and harassment in substance in their acquired gender," Hodge said.


NPR

So, women are once again women... but no hurting the feefees of confused men.

The police will likely still be forced to consider it "hate speech".

Lets hope this gives some type of "base" that England's road back to sanity can be built upon.

In other news...

Hundreds of gender-critical campaigners were arrested outside of a courthouse for the crime of hurting someone's feelings or for the potential of hurting someone's feelings.

I hope you’re right. I’m one who has posted many times on various social media that the UK is lost. It just feels that way. Many, at least 5, of Britain’s major cities have Muslim mayors (even though “fact checkers” try to downplay it with “context”). Hoping for a revival of national and cultural pride. It has to be the young folks.

A U.S. federal district judge will be entering an order enjoying this before the sun goes down. And bash Trump in some way while doing it.
