ReutersBy Sam Tobin and Michael HoldenApril 16, 2025The United Kingdom's top court on Wednesday upheld an appeal by a campaign group on whether transgender women are legally women under equality legislation, ruling that the law referred to a "biological woman and biological sex".The Supreme Court's judgment related to whether a trans woman with a gender recognition certificate (GRC), a formal document which gives legal recognition of someone's new gender, is protected from discrimination as a woman under Britain's Equality Act.
This is the worst possible ruling that could happen!
The Guardian writes...
Critics of equal rights for transgender women have won their supreme court challenge over the definition of a woman.Five judges from the UK supreme court ruled that the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 does not include transgender women who hold gender recognition certificates (GRCs).[...]It could have far wider ramifications by leading to much greater restrictions on the rights of transgender women to use services and spaces reserved for women, and spark calls for the UK’s laws on gender recognition to be rewritten.
The Pink News writes,
“The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex,” he said.
This appears to be a death blow to us in the UK!
“But we counsel against reading this judgement as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another, it is not,” he added, noting that trans people still have protection under the law.He further said that “the Equality Act 2010 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”.
So where is the anti-trans group getting their funding to go after us... why it is from our friend [NOT], JK Rowling!
FWS [For Women Scotland], who have been publicly supported by gender critical author JK Rowling, describes itself as a “grassroots women’s group” founded at a time of “growing unease about how women’s rights would be affected by the Scottish government’s plans to reform the Gender Recognition Act (GRA), to allow for self-declaration of sex”.Why is it that is seems like all the billionaires are against us? How can you fight someone who has unlimited money and is against us? Trump, Musk, Rowling, hedge fund billionaire Joseph Edelman...
“The billionaires are targeting the most marginalized people in the world,” Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD president and CEO, said.Christopher WigginsJanuary 24 2025GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis took aim at Elon Musk during a panel discussion of business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, warning that his consolidation of power and influence is fueling attacks on LGBTQ+ people and other marginalized groups.Speaking at the “Open Forum: Protecting LGBTQI+ Lives” on Thursday, Ellis tied Musk’s actions to a broader pattern of billionaires targeting vulnerable communities while enriching themselves.“We know that algorithms are where the money is made, and the hate algorithms are the better ones,” Ellis said. “What we’ve enacted is free speech for algorithms, not free speech for citizens. Because we do know that more people are accepting and believe in equality for LGBTQ+ people, but you would never believe that if you go onto X or nowFacebook—that’s not where it’s happening.”After Musk acquired Twitter, he rolled back content moderation policies that made the app dangerous for LGBTQ+ users. Recently, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also announced a sharp turn in the company’s content moderation and fact-checking approach, loosening restrictions on hate speech and stopping independent fact-checking partnerships.Ellis highlighted the growing threats to LGBTQ+ safety in the United States, drawing a direct connection between online hate and real-world violence. “What’s happening online is happening in real life. It models one to the other,” she said. She cited attacks on drag shows and the murders of transgender women, adding that GLAAD had to establish an alert desk last year to monitor these incidents as violence “gotten so heinous and out of control.”
I think that many of the billionaires see that money can be made by hating us! While others like JK Rowling, Musk, and Trump just hate our guts!
