You can debate gender id till the cows come home but at the end of the day it's always been about facts vs. feelings ('be kind'). You couldn't have a debate because there was nothing to debate. All they had were threats. Transgenderism has always been akin to a religious cult. Bow down or else.

Trans people have the same protections in law as other groups but men cannot opt into legal protections reserved for women however they identify, and that is how it should be. The end.

Today's UK Supreme Court ruling has made me VERY happy. It's also allowed me to see people here who seem to have wilfully remained ignorant about what the ACTUAL issue has been. It has ALWAYS been about protecting women's rights. If you don't support that, well... bye, I guess...?

Man who has never, ever had to worry about his spaces being taken away (because he is a man) mocks women who protest against theirs being under threat. It's thinly veiled misogyny under the guise of 'supporting a marginalised group.'

The @theguardian.com doing what it does best. Nope. We are not 'critics of trans rights'. We support 'trans rights' to protection from harassment & direct & indirect discrimination. But not male/men's rights to women's/female rights. bsky.app/profile/wome...

“Woman” for the purposes of the Equality Act means biological female, allowing eg lesbian-only spaces, single-sex services and maternity protections. But trans women are protected from discrimination by the characteristic of “gender reassignment” and also if they are read as women.

HUGE win for grassroots #Feminism – @forwomenscotland.bsky.social #SupremeCourt victory 💥 A clear ruling that Women are a distinct group under the Equality Act. Now the #EHRC & national gov'ts must step up for women, update guidance & align policy & practice with the law #WeKnowWhatAWomanIs

Thanks to the bravery and tireless campaigning of all the women who've done so much to preserve women and girls' rights. If our institutions hadn't been such cowards and stood up to the bullying Trans lobby it would never have got this far.

Useful thread ahead of this morning's judgement.

Tomorrow morning the Supreme Court will rule on what the protected characteristic of "sex" refers to in the Equality Act. Sounds technical, but it's immensely consequential. Here's a reminder of what's at stake. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Everyone knows what a woman is. Everyone knows it doesn’t include men who say they are women. But today’s judgement has wide reaching implications whichever way it goes. Thank you to For Women Scotland for shining a light on this attack on women’s rights. forwomen.scot/10/04/2025/j...

I am unconvinced trains from London to Italy are going to happen. But more competition with Eurostar might? Me in the Guardian

We're (speaking as a Gen X'er) also the generation that lived through a decade or so when things worked pretty well so able to compare and contrast.

The theory: NHS empowers patient (me), allowing you to select a hospital appointment (via the app) at a time and place that suits you. The reality: no appointments ever available when checking (several times a day). #welovethenhs #envyoftheworld

This is very good news indeed. New Observer picking up some great writers.

This is precisely what a poll-crazed, marginal constituency-obsessed, insular-thinking, exhausted and angry campaigner would say to a (hostile) tabloid on the eve of a (narrow) election.
