The difference in US headlines or another difference?

Did they even ban the barebones of somebody fully transitioning to a woman? How does that not count as a woman

I don’t know, but the law obviously needs updated, but that’s not going to happen because Labour have taken the political position of sidelining trans people because they’re seen as an electoral liability (imo) instead of actually fighting for policy that’s morally right

Well I guess it’s harder to rely on a boomer parliament who only grew up with strict views of gender

The difference between the actual ruling and the US headlines.
(Sorry for disappearing; chaos in kitchen)

I assume US headlines are making it seem less bad or some shit havent been keeping up

They’ve just got really dumb stuff in them. Like the first sentence CNN has reported on is so weird

The United Kingdom’s highest court ruled that the legal definition of “woman” excludes trans women, in a case with sweeping consequences for how equality laws are applied.

Like what the fuck are these links :sob: these aren’t relevant?? when I clicked on equality laws I thought I was going to get an article on the Equality Act 2010

It’s a mix but US news reporting is just Not Good especially when they’re not reporting on American-only issues

I completely and utterly fail to see any point in them doing such a thing.

Like there are no real consequenses to considering them women unless the legislation is also sexist which opens up even more problems.

Like the whole thing about an assortment of delusional dumbasses denying trans peoples’ transitioned gender just makes no sense to me on a fundamental level because it doesn’t affect anything of actual importance.

Oh no linking stuff is totally a thing every news website does but they’re linking a UK court decision on the equality act to the consequences of Trump’s inauguration for trans people in sports
