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.

    At what point as a centrist am I saying that trans people don’t exist?

        Clearly trans people exist. In your fallacy you proposed, B wants to exist. They exist either way. We are talking here about the definition of a woman

            I thought that was the point of the article- how the UK supreme court has defined a woman as a biological female. Then you come out with your fallacy, which doesn’t make sense to me
