Scotland :Court to Rule on "Woman" Definition today (Trans women not legally women)
 
[In 2022, FWS successfully challenged the original Act
over its inclusion of trans women in its
definition of women. The Scottish Government
then dropped the definition from the Act
and issued revised statutory guidance – essentially,
advice on how to comply with the law.]

The ruling by the Supreme Court that sex in equality law refers to biological sex
will have far reaching implications for the protection of women’s rights and
single sex spaces.

It means that people who were born male can lawfully be excluded from
women’s sports, changing rooms, toilets, women only support groups and
women only shortlist, which was the issue at the centre of this long running
legal dispute.

This case is significant as it is about those who have already legally changed
their gender by obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate.

Yes LT
all good news.

Maya Forstater, the chief executive of Sex Matters, said it meant the notion of
gender self-identification (self-ID) was “dead”.




“Everyone is going to have to pay attention to this, this is from the highest
court in the land. It’s saying sex in the Equality Act is biological sex. Self ID
Is dead.”

Badenoch: You cannot change your biological sex

Kemi Badenoch has said “you cannot change your biological sex” as she reacted
to the Supreme Court’s ruling.

“Saying ‘trans women are women’ was never true in fact, and now isn’t true in
law either,” the leader of the Conservative Party said.

“This is a victory for all of the women who faced personal abuse or lost their
jobs for stating the obvious. Women are women and men are men: you cannot
change your biological sex.

“The era of Keir Starmer telling us women can have penises has come to an
end. Well done to For Women Scotland!”

From now on I don’t want to see any media outlet refer to a man in a dress
who rapes, abuses or murders someone as a woman! These are NOT our
crimes.

what Sharon, like this? : https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-new...rsery-35056718

The Supreme Court’s ruling has “badly let down” transgender people, the
Scottish Greens have said.

A pro-transgender group has claimed gender-critical campaigners have “links to
the global far-Right” as it condemned the Supreme Court’s ruling.

In a statement, Labour for Trans Rights said: “The Supreme Court’s decision is
hugely disappointing, and a result of ceaseless lobbying from
a well-funded anti-trans network with links to the global far-Right.

:rolleyes:

Sex matters in a lot of ways especially for women and so we need to keep a clear definition. Putting this down to some far right agenda is a way of trying to shut down very real and genuine concerns women have. It matters for us in so many different cases. I can't believe some people - even after rapists had been sent to women's prisons on some occasions and attempted to be sent to on others - still try to act like women don't really care about protecting our rights and spaces and "just hate transwomen" That isn't to say that there aren't groups who've jumped on that wagon because they are far right just like groups with more nefarious reasons will have joined the opposite "side", unfortunately that's just life.

@ForWomenScot
won their appeal in the Supreme Court.

Women’s concerns were valid, women’s rights do matter and the Supreme
Court have confirmed the law matches biological reality.

3 Scottish mums humiliated the Scottish Government. This cannot be without consequences!

Indeed, its like talking to a brick wall though in some cases

The Sandie Peggie ruling is now very much in focus..

BBXX 16-04-2025 11:54 AM

Many think this will make women safer, but it won't really, because women aren't at risk from trans women, they are at risk from cis men, who if they want to attack a woman will do just that.

The next stop will likely be ensuring all trans people use the bathroom of the sex they were born as which will result in a load of bearded, muscular trans men sharing a space with biological women. We'll see how well that goes down :shrug:
