Gender-critical campaigners had hoped that this year’s Supreme Court ruling would tee up US-style bathroom bills across the UK, throwing hundreds of thousands of pounds at lawsuits to exclude trans women from women’s spaces. It’s not working out that way. Rivkah Brown reports.

    For this one it’s the chromosomes. For Rowling it’s the gamete production (except when she decides the penis is the problem).

    Maybe they can’t even settle on a consistent criterion because deep inside they’d love to be able to gatekeep what a woman is on a per case basis.

      I assume they just want to ban bathrooms.

      I’ve been to San Francisco; I know it can be done.

      They’re not rich enough to so it Diogenes style, though.

      Of course. I can’t imagine they’d be happy letting a cis man and trans man get married, for example.

      its also traces back to misogyny down the line, its all about controlling women, cis-women being a broodmare to be exact.

    It would break these people to know there are unisex bathrooms and nobody gets hurt

    Men and women pissing and shitting next to each other is truly the end of society to these braindead bigots

    This ruling was a shitshow and a gift to the GC campaigners. This is a GC site that goes over the issues from their perspective:

    In summary, crucial aspects of the ruling were completely made up, possibly from AI hallucinations. The decision is getting appealed, and will quite possibly get completely reversed in favor of Sandie Peggie.
