Fuck this country. I am sincerely worried that some of my friends will do something stupid today. Please check on any UK trans people you know repeatedly this week.
Mmm yes interesting
To any trans people. Live, please. Do whatever you must to survive this hostility. The pendulum of reaction will subside, it has before, it will again, and we'll need you at the vanguard.
I'm not in the UK but that's the plan 
Terf island continues to terf
That really fucking sucks
"the 88-page ruling"
These fucks are laughing at you.
Why do the worst people always fucking win?
Because they have institution on their side and hold nothing back to get what they want. Better people are more charitable and forgiving, something these people always take advantage of.
Awful. Whole Western world was already bad obviously but it feels like things are getting more horrible so rapidly. Sorry y'all are going through this over there.
UK continuing the proud tradition of choosing to do the worst thing it could out of any given situation.
About what you expect when the ruling class are a bunch of inbred freaks.
nothing more than playing around with legislation to try and reverse the progress that has been made over recent decades. it will fail just as all other attempts have, even the Nazi regime could not manage it. we can't go back to a time when trans people didn't exist. there never has been one.
I sure hope you're right but I am not so certain.
This throws the equality act into all kinds of issues. There will need to be a rewrite. Eventually when that rewrite happens it will occur with a misogynistic homophobic hate group funded by friend-to-nazis JK Rowling currently holding the ear of government.
I'll be bad, but remember that not too long ago there were laws criminalising homosexuality (and often trans people got caught in the crossfire.) I know a few old butch lesbian types who would pretend to be gay cis men so the others could escape during a raid since the laws didn't effect them as much.
The United Kingdom can only be cleansed with fire.
Stay safe out there you all.
I think that the best thing you can do, right now, is to reach out to the transgender people in your lives and tell them you care, and if applicable, that you love them. This goes doubly so for the ones in the UK. I imagine that most, if not all of us really need to be told that someone gives a shit.
Yeah, there's much, much more to be done but I think that would be a nice place to start.
Instructions unclear. Mistakenly sexually propositioned every trans person I now.
This seems worse than what even the worst US states (like Texas) are doing.
And this is under the "progressive" government lol. Labour are literally just Tories.
i hate this wretched isle so much
This kind of thing freaks me out a lot. Wishing you all the best obviously. I don't know what else to say.
If anyone has the sudden urge to kill their own braincells, here’s the full judgement:

And here’s the summary:

It's circular logic and they're playing all the classics
If we care about trans women then what if we want to discriminate against them?
Everyone knows what a biological woman is. Our conclusion solved, we will now take 88 pages (interesting number) to arrive at it to obfuscate this.
Chuds win everything as fucking always.
And they'll still pout and seethe
Chuds win everything as fucking alwa
And they'll still find some way to claim they're the opressed victim and that the communists secretly control everything. Fuck those delusional, evil people
sink TERF island
the tsar bomba shouldve been tested on london
There's still time
Death to the UKKK.
I hate this place
into the sea
evil enough to make you dizzy
Queer Harmer
Well, the UKSC isn't a real or legitimate governing body, so I'm not sure what the fuss is about. 🤷♀️
So in the UK trans-men must play in women's sports now otherwise that's discrimination against "women"? Or is that exempt?

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
