Legal definition of woman is based on biological sex, UK supreme court rules

Might I remind you that yet again, you have entirely failed to provide any actual working definitions of your own?

Fine then. You go ahead and define your terms. Give us all a definition of sex, gender, and gender identity in a way that actually makes some fucking sense.

I'll go first:

Sex: the evolved body type within an anisogamous species which is associated with reproduction. The body type that evolved in tandem with the production of large gametes is called female; the body type that evolved in tandem with the production of small gametes is called male.

Gender:
1) the set of socially constructed concepts that encompass the behaviors, presentations, roles, and stereotypes tied to the sexes within any given culture. This is a fluid construct that varies by culture and time
2) a synonym for sex because the word sex makes some people think about copulation and then they blush like gradeschoolers

Gender identity: the subjective and unverifiable feeling that some people have about which gender they wish that other people would see them as. This is often presented as if it is something all people always have, even if they don't think they do. It's presented as being innate, and of having the power to override or otherwise negate sex.

To me, gender (1) is religion - it's a set of constructed rules and expectations that might sometimes be useful but are neither fixed nor required for a functioning society. I reject gender (1) as having any real value or meaning in a developed world and I regard it as a pointless concept. Thus, I use gender (2) and it's synonymous with sex.

To me, gender identity is a personality quirk at best, but it usually used in a way that is indistinguishable from a soul. You can substitute the word "soul" in any discussion of "gender identity" and the meaning conveyed would not change in any material way whatsoever.
It's weird that you say that in response to a post that does, in fact, provide a simple definition of the distinction betwen sex and gender.

What sort of a source would you accept as sufficiently authoritative?
 
Laura Ashleigh Mart, who was born male but now identifies as female, had been banned from loitering near play areas and schools under a sexual harm prevention order imposed for previous offences, Lancs Live reports. But on July 18, 2025, a 10-year-old girl who was playing in Williamson Park, Lancaster, saw "a man with long hair and a green jumper" looking at her. The man exposed his penis and wiggled it at her, before putting it away, Preston Crown Court heard.

HER penis, surely?

The article is reporting on the testimony that was given to the court by the witness, and is therefore using the same language the witness used.
 
Obviously if this particular trans individual is a sex offender, it follows that all trans people are sex offenders, in exactly the same way that if you can identify that any gang member is black, all blacks are obviously gangsters.
 
The reason why some people are stuck on two genders is inertia, in some part religious based inertia.
Nope, it's science and biology.
That is redundant. And likely incorrect. After all, geocentrism was supported by science and astronomy.

But thanks for doing your typical slice and dice and then leave a shit in the thread routine.

Gender is a social construct. Why does society even need to pay attention to it? It's clearly relevant to romantic situations but otherwise I think it's not the government's business. (You provide restrooms, you must treat all equally and it must be clearly disclosed but the exact means is up to you.)
 
The number of people in this thread who don't get what "dealing with them like we did in the 50s" means is a shining testimony to the ugly reality of social privilege. You pampered little shitbags honestly have no comprehension of what it would be like to be truly discriminated against as a class. Like, it's not just that you have never been targeted, apparently you cannot even imagine what it would be like. Your coddled, pampered asses have no equivalent experience on which such empathy could even be cultivated. Jesus, how nice it must be! To just go outside and not once have to think "is someone going to rape or murder me today?" Except it isn't nice, because you've never known anything else, so you just take it for granted. I get it. When all you eat is caviar, it's just another fish. Spoiled little shits. I was seven years old the first time an adult sexually harassed and then beat the shit of me for being queer, and I didn't even know that about myself at the time. Seven. Fuck. Little seven year old woke "terrorist", I guess. Playing the wrong game on the playground. Assaulting the Church and State with a dollie. What a threat.

But you guys are also incredibly stupid if you think the Nazis won't eventually come for you too, when they are done with us. You may be oblivious about specific things, but even you have read too much, know too much, and care too much. They may come for you last, but you aren't safe from them. No contrarian ever is. Participating on an "Infidel" website is a disappearance order all by itself, when a theocratic regime is truly in the ascendancy. Naive, doomed fools. It would be tragic, if you weren't taking so many good people down with you. But as it stands, when your number comes up the only people who would have cared about your plight will have preceded you.
Your mouth eternally to the ears of people who might understand.
I don't understand why some people get so bent out of shape and so hateful that some people change their genders.

Same as back in the 1980's when I became aware that gay people existed.

Back then my attitude was, OK. It's not a problem. Leave them alone. It's not a problem.

With trans again, OK. They changed gender. Not a problem for anyone.

I don't understand why some people get so bent about this. I have to think that these people who get bent are seriously fucked up ethically.
Exactly where I stand. How does it harm me? Yeah, a guy tried to pick me up once. So what? It is something that should be disclosed promptly in romantic situations, otherwise it's a total so-what. You want something illegal, either show me the victim(s) or the undue risk of victims. That someone finds the implied or stated message offensive is not enough. That it causes questions that make parents squirm is not enough.
Imagine for a moment that someone "changing genders" consequentially means that 1: they are very much already neuro-atypical; 2: the probably aren't taking risks of any new family happening from their sexual liasons.

These two populations intersect to create a powerful economic potential that can elevate while families and segments of society, like a spear to penetrate whatever ceiling of reproductive behaviors create between the poor and the wealthy.

If you are wealthy and you hate the poor as the wealthy do often, then you ARE harmed by them. They are a cheat code for a genetic system to divide and conquer the problem of success and child rearing unto success.
I do agree it means they take their genes out of the system but I don't see the cheat code unless you're talking about not being saddled with oops babies.
They don't, though. The system produced me, so clearly those genes are still there to make me, mostly. It's not a unique mutation or formation of brain potential owing to that one dude's "special jizz" or whatever.

It doesn't take anything away from it. And yes, not being saddled not just with whoops babies but with any expectation at all to eventually have kids outside of intense preparation.

In addition, well, the atypical who are capable of understanding gender issues and having them ironically have some drive to learn some particular thing really well. This, combined with not fitting into traditional roles in society, drives such people to sink promptly or learn something really well.

It also has a number of implications to memetics: while being trans is something that just happens, it happens to be something that disrupts the strength of "familial cultural memetics", too. It's less important for those who aren't narcissistic, but for those who want to raise their children to do what they did and be just like them but more "successful" it's an injustice to their children's independence of thought.

But this is useful because yes, family planning means families stay out of poverty long enough to succeed and contribute to the whole, which somewhere must contain innumerable examples of the ingredients that made me who I am.

Rather, I find different ways to encourage those genes.

Naïveté is so cute!!
A lot of unpack there. The reason many people are stuck on two genders is not really inertial. There is a real binary here, even if it's not perfect. On the physical level, there are various intersex conditions. And trans can perhaps be understood as intersex with regard to brain-genitalia disconnect. Just because it affects the brain does not make it any less real than, say, testosterone insensitivity.

That said, these are failures of normal development. The human species is still gonochoric. TSwizzle is right there, and trans activists who want to eliminate the binary norm because of some exceptions are going too far. But people like TSwizzle also go too far when they try to dismiss the very real existence of people to whom the binary does not apply.
 
They allowed a registered sex offender to use the girls locker room.

Registered sex offender Richard Cox was back in an Arlington, Virginia, courtroom Thursday for a lengthy preliminary hearing. Cox is accused of exposing himself to multiple women and children in Arlington Public Schools' girls’ locker room. In court Thursday morning. Cox repeatedly insisted he is a woman, and insisted the judge order the prosecutor to stop misgendering him and to use female pronouns. Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis has defended his department’s decision not to file charges against Cox for his visits to Fairfax County rec centers, saying Fairfax County’s policy, set by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the park authority, allows people to use locker rooms based on gender identity.
