UK Supreme Court rules 'woman' means biological female (news.stv.tv)

I know it's a hot topic in both the real world, and online, but I suspect not a huge shock to those learned individuals. I doubt the Scottish Government will be appealing, I suspect Swinney keen to put it behind the SNP. A sad day for trans women. I'm sure they, and their allies, will campaign on to try to persuade the UK government to amend the various acts next.

Edit: locking this post to stop fly-bys. As a mod I don't want to see the discourse descend further than what has already been posted

Right, so you do just think you can tell. Glad we got there in the end

We have biological Sex

Biology does not care for simple categorisations. Remember Caster Semenya and all the shit the world flung at her?

You show proof of address.

So are we all carrying our birth certificates around just in case there's a particularly zealous dick inspector outside the bathrooms?

I wouldn't see any problems with having to prove your sex to join a gym or the likes. No. That's fine.

I also didn't say "I can tell" I said there are ways to tell with certain people. Your ignorance of humanity is wild.

The joy is I don't have to guess.

Yeah, you did say

Right, and for every other sex-segregated space that is regularly brought up in these discussions and which doesn't require registration beforehand? What about the bathrooms at a restaurant? I don't need a membership to go to the local swimming pool. If I get arrested I'm not likely to have my birth certificate on me.

Most pools these days are unisex, and piss where you like.

Still doesn't change that there are two sexes.

One day you might learn that there is, in fact, more biology than what you learned in primary school

Outliers to the norm don't change the norm. Sometimes I wonder how humanity got this far then I remember this madness is new.
