"The gender critical campaign group For Women Scotland, which is backed financially by JK Rowling, said the Equality Act’s definition of a woman was limited to people born biologically female...." So, let's check out what Rowling is saying on X:
AND:It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they’ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK. @ForWomenScot, I’m so proud to know you 🏴💜🏴💚🏴🤍🏴 https://t.co/JEvcScVVGS

I wonder what KBJ thinks about that decision.
KBJ hardest hit
A court issued a sanity check. Fantastic!
Filed under affirmative action for women that we support
Rowling's definition of a Scottish woman: a lass wot thumps ye!
JSM
A breath of sanity from a country that has been going insane.
It seems odd to live in an age where even the most basic biological truth has to be affirmed by a court. “Interesting times” ain’t got nothin’ on us.
The gender critical campaign group For Women Scotland...
"Gender critical" is a term used exclusively by trans advocates, and The Guardian made an editorial decision to use it in a news article.
The ham-handed manner in which these outlets back leftist causes in "news" articles is near parody.
To be a woman you have to be a woman - amazing this is a breakthrough.
Transgender spectrum.
That said, men and women, boys and girls, are equal in rights and complementary in Nature.
Another victory for the British common law.
Affirmative affirmation.
Have the Bobbies arrested the Supreme Court judges yet?
If you need a "gender recognition certificate," you're just cosplaying.
I for one lived through racial desegregation in the South, including school integration, and after that the normalizing and then enshrining in law protections for homosexuality, and after that acceptance of transgendered individuals in society. Re-segregation is pushed now by Blacks to achieve collective political and social power. Queer Pride pushes for homosexuality's worst practictioners of depravity and promiscuity to be the movement's stereotypes. Transgender activists demand respect, not just acceptance, of their dysphoria and insist on violating other's rights in doing so.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I'd suggest support of individual rights rather than pushing for collective privileges is the best route to societal success.
And don't get me started on the failures of modern feminism.
The woke left: Women and children hardest hit.
I'd like to see somebody create a bell curve for the confused among us: I want it to show three categories: 'Female', 'Transgender', and 'Male' along the ordinate, and then, 'Population, in billions' along the abscissa. That would be interesting ! Except we might start to wonder where all the noise is coming from, because it will only show two very-skinny bells.
Court interpreted a statute, which could be amended.
Trans refers to a state or process of divergence from normal. Gender refers to sex-correlated attributes (e.g. sexual orientation): masculine and feminine. Transgender is a spectrum disorder.
Liberals following progressive principles, principals are misogynistic, Diversitist, homophobic/transphobic, and transhumane. #HateLovesAbortion
Great news - for a change - out of the UK.
“Filed under affirmative action for women that we support.”
AKA, women.
FFS, Curly Howard.

Aren't you late for your conjugal visit with Adam Westbrook?
PedoFredo and Groomer GuitarJoe hit hardest.
A set back for TQ+ trying to Main Street their afflictions.
The “+” is for the deviancy that would be coming in the future from the freaks.
Good news for the UK.
Gender is not an identity.
Sex is an identity.
Gender is a performance.
One new development that I have noticed. Some are using the term trans identifying male for a bio male instead of the backwards trans woman for a bio male. I think this change would improve the framing.
It's a miracle!

I like the plain clarity of Dude with a Boob Job
JK Rowling has been a rock on this issue. Taking lots and lots of heat. Very muskian of her.
We are all still at least a little surprised at seeing a high court exhibit common sense, right?
When trans activists threatened to burn her books, JK Rowling said, go ahead. I already have your money. As long as you buy my book I don't care if you read it or burn it.
It's interesting to see the issues these wealthy, accomplished people - Trump, Musk, Rowling - picked out. Make America Great Again. Government Efficiency. Women's Bodies, Women's Selves. It suggests that part of the reason they are successful is they are able to pick out essential issues and concentrate on them.
The merely wealthy trust babies are, meanwhile, storming heights of futility such as male breast-feeding and depths of depravity such as supporting assassins, arsonists, back- shooters and gangsters.
Dr. Helen Webberley, who has grown wealthy by selling hormones over the web, in as little as two days, to children as young as 12, is quite shockingly sexually abusive and unprofessional in this post. The image of an eggplant (in emoticon a penis, in Italian a slur for blacks -- why does nobody object to this?) aimed towards an emoticon female's mouth, in this context, insinuates oral rape of those who disagree with her.
Who would let such a monster who thinks it is funny to threaten her political opponents with rape be a doctor for children?
Next up for adjudication: What is the color of a blue sky?
How many people does it take to change the meaning of a word. I don't the unscientific have enough yet.
Looks like the UK is running back into the Motte for a while.
I asked Gemini, Google's AI, to do a meme of JK Rowling in Mel Gibson's war paint from Braveheart. It said it couldn't because it might violate their "Guidelines." I asked what guideline it might violate; it said "It's hard to say" and referred me to the entire set of guidelines. Which are the usual crap.
The BS is everywhere.
It would have been a really good meme.
Mr T: don't recognize the name so miss the attempted witicism as a response to my comment. I was myself reacting to the comment that this was a victory of British common law. It was not a common law decision. Perhaps a victory in statutory interpretation that the Labour Government accepts as such.
In essence, this court affirmed that “transgender woman” is, as it always has been in the sane world, an oxymoron.
Whew…for a moment I read that as “US Supreme Court”. But we’re safe over here—our SC doesn’t even know what a woman is.
It seems like those five judges just committed a hate crime.
“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 …”
It won’t lead to restrictions on transgender women’s rights. They’ll have the same rights as their fellow men.
