Women who transitioned decades ago feel their safety and security has suddenly been removed
Last week’s supreme court ruling sent shock waves through the UK’s trans community.
The unanimous judgment said the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 did not include transgender women who hold gender recognition certificates (GRCs).
That feeling was compounded when Kishwer Falkner, the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which is preparing new statutory guidance, said the judgment meant only biological women could use single-sex changing rooms and toilets.
A better question is, why is the government administering it in the first place?
There should be no laws that depend on either gender or sex, so knowing it does not help the government fulfill its obligations. Therefore it is not covered by the public interest and official authority grounds of the GDPR.
Lol.
Ideally, maybe. In a future perfect society. But let’s remember that the court case that triggered this was about whether trans women count as women for the purposes of meeting laws that require gender quotas. Quotas that most of us should support because of their importance in combatting existing gender inequalities.
Agreed. The only people that really need to know your biological sex are your doctor and people you’re seeking (sexual) relationships with.
For believing that the government has no business with my genitals and also believing that there’s nothing inherently wrong with trans people…does that make me a trans inclusionary radical feminist?
But biological sex is a critical part of our species, and our society, so you can’t just ignore it and say the government doesn’t need to know
Trans women are biologically women.
How is it critical outside of reproduction? Why should anyone except for your doctor and partner care?
Reproduction including everything that goes along with it- including dating, sexual attraction, interactions between different genders/sexes is a critical part of our evolution both as a species and a society
Important for dating - yes, evolution - yes, government, administration and passports - no.
Dang, sad this guy got banned for opposing the trans agenda.
It’s all part of their scheme to manipulate the narrative by silencing anyone who goes against them.
