We must fight the notion that the Supreme Court's ruling "settled the issue" on sex and gender; that it somehow proved that trans people aren't valid.
The Court were explicit that it didn't. A bunch of old men can't retcon decades of research. They can't change reality.

"gender ideology is anti-gravity nonsense that only the desperate, the deluded and the double-dealing grifters still believe": just in case you were still wondering quite how consumed with hatred are Hadley Freeman and The Sunday Times.

So much of the narrative behind politics that gets leveraged for the removal/blocking of rights for people is discomfort.
People feel uncomfortable with what they're rarely acquainted with. 1/4

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

Indeed, but not just a win for the racists. It gives a boost to the 'anti-woke' mob, in that changes to ECHR, although specifically about migrants, open the door just a little bit further, to every climate crisis denying, disabled and poor hating, anti-trans, animal abusing, planet polluting twat.

The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.
