Considering the SWP's history of rape apologists and sex pests among its members it definitely knows what a woman is.

The ruling determines what the law IS and, indeed, what it has always BEEN.

'Placards depicted us hung from gallows with the slogan: ‘the only good TERF is a dead one’. Others exhorted us to ‘suck trans dick’. ‘Why not try a DIY lobotomy’, asked one, next to an image of someone stabbing themselves in the eye.'

Apparently I’ve ‘repeatedly exhibited behavior that violates community guidelines’. I *think* that translates as ‘people have repeatedly reported you for expressing an opinion on sex and gender they don’t like.’ 🤷‍♀️

Turns out, most likely, that the "trans allies" are targeting my account because I've the cheek to be a woman with political opinions. I've appealed to moderation.bsky.app and hope this and the general abuse will end soon. Otherwise it's no better than Elon's X.

Women's rights are human rights!

Remarkable that @fawcettsociety.bsky.social appear to have had nothing to say about the vandalism of the statue of Millicent Fawcett. Why so quiet?

I was somewhat shocked that Lord Sumption gave bad legal advice on single sex exceptions in Equality Act. I thought he had a massive brain

@fawcettsociety.bsky.social Hello. Have you anything to say about last week's ruling by the UK Supreme Court in the case of For Women Scotland vs the Scottish Ministers?

Just look at this. Seriously. Is this the voice of reason? “I hope she catches cancer and dies painfully”. This is the men talking. Jesus fucking wept. Whatever you think about this woman, the misogyny on here has to stop. It’s off the scale.
But there's no clash of women's and trans rights. All would be well when women die painfully.

Fascinating to see so many people outraged by a legal decision that the only way a piece of anti-discrimination legislation is effective is if it is interpreted in the way that the legislators intended, rather than by those who seek to distort it. You'd expect reasonable people to be pleased.

This is embarrassing for the writer & depressing for everyone, to the extent it signals extremist activists' intention to continue to misrepresent the law rather than either accept it or make any case for changing it

The framing of this news story as being about trans women - trans identifying men - is incredibly revealing about attitudes to women.

There is widespread concern about strip searches, particularly of children

When it is conducted, male officers should not be searching female suspects. Nor should female officers be expected to search male suspects

So this is a welcome development

I'm really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward women.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Women are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

Women and their hard-won rights matter.

Good to be reminded why I wrote Hags. Older women already shoulder a disproportionate burden of work (paid and unpaid). "Nothing better to do" means, I guess, "shouldn't be doing politics, and certainly shouldn't be celebrating any political gains"

Honestly, this place is insane. On most issues I like it better than twitter. But on sex and gender it’s wild! The extreme reactions to the mildest statements, from people congratulating themselves on how progressive and kind they are.

(I do realise I’m not saying anything original here!)

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...?

'We may nonetheless finally put to bed the mantra that “trans women are women” indistinguishable from natal women. In relation to the Equality Act they are not, and not even the acquisition of a gender recognition certificate changes that.'
