I am sure this will be a precedent-setting ruling, whatever the outcome. I mean, how can it not be, considering that even reportedly brilliant legal minds raised to the heights of our own SCOTUS find themselves completely flummoxed when confronted by that very same thorny question?

WHAT IS A WOMAN?

‘DERP’ says the potential and eventual Supreme Court Justice.

I’M NOT A BIOLOGIST

As weak-kneed as the Scots have been over the past few years defending anything remotely resembling inherent natural freedoms such as speech, these mewling DEI-deluded descendants of once fierce and cranky Celts will race to strap on the Woke battle skirts and environmentally-friendly vegan leather when it comes to fighting off the defenders of normalcy, biology, and civilized behavior.

This story starts in 2010, when the United Kingdom passed what’s known as the “Gender Equality Act.” What Parliament did was to combine nine major pieces of legislation and a buttload of other sundry regulations together into one massive law.

…Everyone in Britain is protected by the Equality Act. The protected characteristics under the Act are:

You know – ‘simplify’ things.

The problem with reworking what everyone had a ‘right’ to as far as ‘protection’ while including transgenders and those who simply ‘self-identify’ is that they became a protected class under whatever sex they chose. The governments in the UK issue something they call a gender recognition certificate (GRC), which magically transforms the person attaining one to become whatever is on that certificate as long as they have lived “in their affirmed gender for two years” and have statements from either two different medical doctors or a doctor and a clinical psychologist. Chemical and surgical interventions don’t seem to be required, but the government is interested in hearing about them.

Fill out the appropriate forms, attach the appropriate testimonials, voilà. Harold’s a ‘she’ in the eyes of the government.

For example: I am woman says Harold. He might still possess all his original Harold naughty bits, BUT – he has a GRC attesting to being a female, and now one cannot ‘misgender’ Harold. It becomes a hate crime issue.

In the 2010 Gender Equality Act, there were exclusive carve-outs for women-only spaces, but implementation became ever more fraught over time thanks to an earlier ‘2004 Gender Recognition Act.’ There aren’t enough spaces to satisfy everyone demanding them.

…In contrast, the Gender Recognition Act is not about gender identity at all. Instead it enables someone to change their legal sex marker, which includes which sex they are classified as under Section 11 of the Equality Act (the protected characteristic of Sex). It also enables someone to change their birth certificate to say they were born the opposite sex, along with strong privacy protections enabling someone to hide the sex they were originally born and their transgender status.

Complicated as all get out, no?

Well, yeah. It gets worse.

In 2018, the uber-progressive Scottish National Party (SNP) wanted to increase the number of women represented on boards of ‘public bodies’ across the country, so the Scottish Parliament passed the measure that lit off this whole firestorm by including transgender ‘women’ in their official definition, whether these pretenders had a GRC or not.

In 2018, Holyrood passed a law to increase the proportion of women sitting on the boards of public bodies to 50 per cent.

It defined ‘woman’ as including transgender women, whether or not they had a gender recognition certificate (GRC) changing their sex in the eyes of the law.

The feminist group For Women Scotland (FWS) successfully challenged this at Scotland’s highest court, arguing it strayed beyond Holyrood’s powers.

SNP ministers issued revised guidance on the issue, but this also stated that the definition of ‘woman’ included a trans person with a GRC.

Interestingly enough – and par for the course as far as the radical trans activist movement goes – when the bill for gender parity on public boards was originally introduced?

It merely specified “women.” And why not?

SORRY – NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH

The trans lobby just had to get involved.

FWS has lost twice in court challenging the rule, which they believe strips every last protection away from women under the 2010 Act, and this is how it comes to their Supreme Court today. 

The Scottish government, to no one’s surprise, is defending the transgenders over women.

…In its written argument, only published after policy collective MBM threatened to lodge an application with the Supreme Court seeking full disclosure, the Scottish Government insists that the term woman includes a “person issued with a full GRC in the acquired gender of female”.

Equality Act Fears Dismissed

For all practical purposes, this means that women lose the protection based on their sex as set out in the 2010 Equality Act – the very law designed to ensure safety and fairness for them. And crucially, it directly contradicts the assurances given by the Scottish Government during the passage of the Gender Recognition Reform Bill.

The government’s plans for self-ID set out in the Bill meant that anyone over the age of 16 could change their legal sex simply by filling in a form. Campaigners – and most Scottish Conservative MSPs – argued that this would have a significant impact on women’s rights, as protected by the Equality Act. The Scottish Government brushed away their fears.

The woke Scottish government is so determined to disenfranchise every last true female in Scotland that they have argued in their court brief that a man holding a GRC stating he is a ‘woman’ can, of course, be a lesbian because? 

‘She’s’ attracted to women! 

And isn’t that the very definition of a lesbian?

WHY, YES, IT IS

…Indeed, her government’s Supreme Court submission describes, in very clear terms, a significant impact on a particular group of women – lesbians. To prove its argument that a biologically male person with a GRC is now legally female, the Scottish Government argues that if he is sexually attracted to women, then he is now a lesbian ­– and therefore a lesbian group or association with more than 25 members cannot legally deny him membership.

The government’s court filing also sparkles with mentions of ‘pregnant men.’ 

SO INCLUSIVE – THEY MUST BE BIOLOGISTS

Amnesty International – who pleads for separate berthing and lavatory spaces for female victims and refugees of war-torn third world countries in all of their literature – is at the Scottish Supreme Court today righteously assisting the government in their attempt to jettison every last right of Scottish women to the same.

Someone should ask the do-gooders at Amnes…

…frick. 

Never mind. 

Such sadly disturbed people should never have such dangerous power.

Light a candle for the girls in court today.

Our delusional deviant class is watching.
