Our solidarity statement following yesterday's UK supreme court ruling
On April 16th 2025, the UK Supreme Court ruled that “women” and “men” are defined by biological sex under equalities law. As a grassroots feminist community that is committed to trans-inclusion, the Feminist Therapy Network’s position is that this ruling is an act of trans-erasure that undermines the dignities, entitlements and joys of trans people, and will be used to further discrimination and bigotry, particularly towards trans women. We also consider this ruling to be a gateway to further discriminations against women who do not adhere to normative standards of femininity that are rooted in white, colonial Eurocentric constructs. No trans people were heard from in the process of this ruling which was made by a majority of cis male judges. It demonstrates how our governing systems remain rooted in mechanisms of patriarchal dominance that continue to ignore the very real and urgent issues of misogyny and gendered violence.
