"UK Supreme Court rules legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex"

Traurig – ich befürchte, das ist nur der erste Schritt auf einem Weg, der zu weniger Rechten für alle führen könnte. Besonders für Frauen, wenn toxische Männlichkeit oder ein fehlgeleiteter "Feminismus" weiter Auftrieb bekommen.

BBC NewsUK Supreme Court rules legal definition of a woman is based on biological sexJudges say the "concept of sex is binary" while adding that transgender people will still have protection against discrimination.

Dear Lovely Peeps,

Found this on the other site (h/t to ConnieH72) & it was the first thing I've seen all day that helped & reminded me to keep looking forward.

Today was not a good day for *any* of us whether directly affected or not, because we either all stand together or we shall all fall apart, and we *need* every single brilliant, beautiful one of us.

But tomorrow is a new day & we shall go again. 💪

Gender-affirming care is now inaccessible for trans people of all ages, in huge swaths of America. In many cases, people are (on paper) unaffected by the existing legislation and orders, but are having their HRT abruptly cut off anyway. slate.com/life/2025/04/trump-t

Can't wait to watch these cowardly "providers" like Memorial Health learn the hard way that appeasement gets you nowhere. #uspoli #uspolitics #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights

"(biological) women and girls [have a] shared biology leading to shared disadvantage and discrimination faced by them as a distinct group" - the UK Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision from all 10 men and all 2 women apnews.com/article/uk-supreme-

British TERFs, your Supreme Court, which is 83% male, just said that sexist discrimination is caused by biology. The highest authority in your country thinks that the reason women are paid less than men, elected less than men, promoted less than men, abused more than men, appointed to the Supreme Court less than men, and so on... is that they're biologically inferior.

Yes, trans women will be kicked out of women's spaces, but that's because your 5/6ths male Supreme Court sees women as damsels in distress, and thinks they always will be. Trans exclusion is just today's, luckily convenient, side effect of that. Plus they're giving trans men, who may have penises and high testosterone levels, the right to be in your spaces. So is it even that helpful?
