@sarajw I’m trying not to yell at inanimate objects so much these days but it’s hard. The presenter on the BBC Today programme (Nick Robinson) just casually let this roll out, “Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that trans women are not women…” and I find myself involuntarily screaming at a speaker, “that’s not what they ruled, you absolute dolt, please stop talking!” But obviously a lot of people feel like they now have cover to reveal what they always wished were true, facts be damned. As this settles in I think some might be surprised to find that trans women still exist, they are still women even if not biologically so at birth, and they still have human rights and legal protections. Interestingly, I worked at the BBC for many years (in the UK) and, as an American, I was constantly delighted that their offices had no separate “men’s” and “women’s” toilets. (There’s no legal requirement anyone must.) Each floor had several single-person closet-sized toilets and no need to check anyone’s certificate or genitalia upon entry. This is not an unsolvable problem, it just takes a little consideration and compassion.

@micmath ugh yes - it's probably been written quite carefully but then reported very badly and without the specifics and nuance needed. But not everyone has the time to read 88 pages. Nick Robinson maybe should have though!
