… in the context of the 2010 Equalities Act.
Personal note:
This is a dangerous precedent that is already being used to justify banning trans women from women’s bathrooms, and will likely allow male police / security to manhandle women to ascertain their gender. It will also put trans women at a further disadvantage for getting jobs, as if there wasn’t enough stigma as is.
Get ready for the genital inspectors, more transpotting (like with that non-trans lady in the Olympics) and an increased amount of abuse of trans people.
I’m disgusted by this ruling, and by the gleeful people celebrating it. TERFs are so fucking tragic because they pretend they care about women’s rights, whilst pushing for things that make all women less safe. I’m a cis woman, so ostensibly, rulings like this are done to protect me, which is patently false. This ruling makes me feel very nervous for the safety of my community.
