The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the legal definition of a woman should be based on biological sex.
I really have it with those old white men.
Why can’t you just shut up if you are incapable of adjusting your world view to the 21st century?
As an old white man, I completely agree. It's not always easy to change old habits, but people's refusal to even try is infuriating.
I don't believe Keir Starmer is Labour. Fight me.
Isn't that why he helped remove actual labour people to make new, now more tory labour?
Labour's been getting steadily more Tory since at least Blair. I just didn't realise how bad he was until his government started stepping up the evil shit. Wish we had a viable left option.
From a German perspective he awfully seems like a Tory
Only correct reply
The only way for Labour to govern under first past the post is to appeal to the center.
Unfortunately our country is disgustingly conservative and the right wing have always been far better organised, it probably helps they have the media on side.
Starmer is actually doing a surprisingly ok job. The austerity he's pushing is tedious as fuck but if he weren't keeping an eye on economics we'd be drowning in hysteria about "magic money trees" and labour dragging the country in to debt.
The employment rights bill will be an incredible improvement for working people. I wish it went a lot further but it's a solid start.
Unless labour support electoral reform we are doomed to an eternity of right wing government. Labour only got into power last year because reform split the vote, and very soon the reform and conservatives will merge together again.
Can we not just have gender neutral bathrooms and changing rooms and be done with it?
"But what about MtF people going into sports?" Just put a fucking asterisk by their name on the leader boards.
Jobs a good un
Its so tiring of people trying to patch problems with "gendered bathrooms", "train cars only for women", "women parking lots" rather than actually solving real problems. These band aids should be a temporary solutions at best but here we are - argueing about gendered bathrooms in 2025.
The worst when people try to spin these as some sort of innovation. Especially for gendered train cars here in Japan was such a huge thing and I couldn't help but eye roll when instead of addressing perverts they just herd women into protected pens and put camera noise default on every smartphone that take 10 minutes to disable by actual criminals.
train cars only for women
Good thing nobody can actually suggest that in this day and age. Because that's a concept that makes everyone immediately go "Ooooh, how delightfully 1800s. Wait, why are we doing this, I thought we were better than that."
...If someone actually suggests that, have them be detained by a few chimney sweeps until the police arrives by horse carriage.
What an absolute coward. Bowing down to the USA because Trump told him to. Fucking coward.
Guess my Canadian trans ass is boycotting the UK now too. It's been a long time coming anyway, Terf Island.
(Sorry Scotland, you're cool but also in a toxic relationship I can't be around right now. I hope we can be friends again some day)
Why are they trying so hard to prove it, if it’s the obvious truth? I never saw my mother and sister having to prove or defend the point that they are women.
Well, regardless of my standpoint, I might not like what you have to say but I will for sure fight for your right to say it. Same goes for everyone.
If you spent more than five minutes looking into this you'd understand that there's a whole lot more to it than presentation. Some people are born intersex. Some biological women are born with two xx chromosomes. Some biological men are born with xy chromosomes. Etc etc. It's nice that your mom and sister have it all clear. A good portion of humanity has to fight to explain their place every day

True but in this case his office was just referencing a court ruling
