Caster #Semenya wins her ECtHR case - but with a GC decision that is VERY different from the Chamber ruling. Court rules (very oddly, IMHO) that Switzerland has no jurisdiction in relation to Art. 8, 14 and 13 ECHR; finds violation of Art. 6(1). Lots of scrutiny of compulsory sport arbitration.

This is an excellent example of "lawyer brain". The ruling may (or may not) make technical sense and I'm sure the court does not *want* to take away trans rights. But that is what this judgment will do, no matter that they performatively add this should not lead to trans discrimination.
UK SC's definition of 'woman' is a serious affront to decades of labour in queer studies to decouple sex & gender that even WHO recognises. It's a colonial-racial chokehold to safeguard power of TERFs & GCs. Moving forward, all women will have rights curtailed.
