Para 209 of the judgment: sex has its biological meaning throughout this legislation: “woman” always and only means a biological female of any age in section 212(1). It follows that a biological male of any age cannot fall within this definition; and “woman” does not mean or sometimes mean or include a male of any age who holds a GRC or exclude a female of any age who holds a GRC. To reach any other conclusion would turn the foundational definition of sex on its head and diminish the protection available to individuals and groups against discrimination on the grounds of sex. As we shall explain below, in relation to sex discrimination, an individual will still be entitled to protection against discrimination on the grounds of sex on its biological meaning.

The court did not decide what a “woman” is, nor could it.

But the UK politicians are now fawning over the votes of the poorly educated, angry, older voters tempted to Reform, and have used the judgment as an excuse to point to someone else and then given the impression the answer to the question “what is a woman” has been decided, and decided for them. That is just dishonest.

Good luck with that!

Secondly, McCloud is wasting everyone’s time. She represents no-one but herself. The idea that she should have been able to intervene, as though she speaks for all trans women, is the height of narcissism.
