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

You're in the "anti-woke" ingroup. And you refuse to see your own tribalist behavior.

There is really no "anti-woke ingroup". "Woke", as used in earnest during the Michael Brown riots, is an extremist movement. As such, opposition to it from moderate liberals (such as myself and presumably Bomb) all the way to MAGA. Those people are very different from each other and are in each other's ingroups.

Woke is not a movement. It’s just a different way of saying an old thing, that we ought to respect and not oppress people different from ourselves. Duh.

Also vegans could be described as "woke". I wouldn't believe every vegan is a PETA supporting extremist though. Also not every climate change activist/person who believes in climate change action, is an Extinction Rebellion, or Just Stop Oil supporter. Etc etc. Very basic logic stuff, but feeble minds cannot comprehend it.

Another very simple thing that's hard to grasp for certain people... if you are against wokeness, you are in the group of people who are against wokeness. That is an ingroup. That's just how groups work. I support basic decency, and am against cruel and unusual punishments, so I am in the woke ingroup. Plus I simply just don't worship Trump, which also puts me in the woke ingroup.

You might want to edit a "not" into that last sentence.

My sister-in-law is a vegan and nobody in his right mind would describe her as "woke". You're stereotyping.

The UK supreme court has ruled that the terms “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman and biological sex, in a victory for gender-critical campaigners. Five judges from the UK supreme court ruled unanimously that the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 did not include transgender women who hold gender recognition certificates (GRCs). In a significant defeat for the Scottish government, the court decision will mean that transgender women can no longer sit on public boards in places set aside for women.

How can we blame this on Trump?

Person complaining about people bringing up Trump... brings up Trump out of the blue.

TSwizzle brought up Trump out of the blue. laughing dog complained about it.

That was an accurate description, not a complaint.

Um... many conservatives would. Lol.

 

[GenesisNemesis]

And you're delusional if you don't think that.

 

[GenesisNemesis]

A lot of conservatives call people woke merely for having blue hair, ffs.

 

[pood]

“Woke” is an all-purpose smear for people that have liberal, tolerant, inclusive values — by people who don’t.

 

[GenesisNemesis]

And you know what else? I don't give a single fuck about the fact that I'm "stereotyping conservatives". I don't give a single fuck about playing fair with conservatives. Not after they caused the mess we're in.

 

[GenesisNemesis]

By the way, notice how they criticized my stereotyping, but not Derec's stereotyping of every woke person as an extremist?

 

[Bomb#20]

I was pointing out that you were stereotyping vegans, not conservatives.

 

[GenesisNemesis]

Not to mention they completely missed my point since my entire point was that NOT EVERY WOKE PERSON IS AN EXTREMIST. USE FUCKING CONTEXT. OH WAIT YOU'RE INCAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING CONTEXT.

DO YOU WANT ME TO ADD "THEY COULD BE DESCRIBED AS WOKE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS" SO IT PLEASES YOU OH GREAT RIGHT WINGER? EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS ALREADY IMPLIED BY "COULD BE DESCRIBED"? WHEN SOMEONE SAYS "COULD BE" THAT MEANS IT IS POSSIBLE. NOT THAT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS IN EVERY SINGLE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT SPECIFIC WAY.

Over and over we are told that Harris was a DEI hire because Biden himself declared that he would only select a black woman.

This claim might have validity only IF the following fact were true, which it is not: that in the past, black women have been seriously considered for vice president, along with everyone else.

Since they have not been, the complaint is entirely without merit.

Or if there were no highly qualified black women to comprise a good pool of candidates.

And in fact, there have ALWAYS been highly qualified black women to be vice president or president Here are four out of many from the 19th century, FFS. Anyone of ‘em would have been better than most of white male turds that have actually been prez, especially the current psychotic racist imbecile.

 

[Derec]

white male turds

Here we see racism and sexism that pood casually throws about.

Btw, I recognize Harriett Tubman, but who are the others? And explain why you think they are qualified, other than their gender and race? Specifically. And without racist and sexist rhetoric.

 

[Derec]

Or if there were no highly qualified black women to comprise a good pool of candidates.

Nobody is saying that black women (and men) should not be considered. The problem is that they were the only ones who were considered, cutting out 93% of the population from consideration (97% in case of the California senate seat).

 

[Derec]

On the misogyny charge I rest my case.

Pointing out a very likely case of a quid pro quo is not "misogyny".

Such as?

Such as frequent negative references to Trump's genitalia.
Just one example:

I am not the only one disgusted by the Whitmer "Democrat" feeling the urge to suck the Orange Fascist's scrotum. Watching once respectable GOPsters like Rubio lick the Holy Scrotum is disgusting enough, but Democrats???
Do I forfeit my claim to "Centrism" by writing like this? What does "centrism" even mean anyway? If a right-winger will suck the Holy Orange Scrotum for 60 minutes, and a left-winger doesn't want to suck it at all, does that mean a "Centrist" will suck the Holy Scrotum for 30 minutes?

Do you think affirnative action just appeared out of the blue? It came about because of misogyny and racial animosity. Certain members here display those characteristics quite often.

Nobody is claiming that there was no prejudice against women and blacks when AA was first implemented.
Note, however, that the initial AA executive order did not envision it as a system of racial preferences, much less one that is to extend for decades - and if it were up to woke leftists, in perpetuity.

The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin.

Pretty soon, "without regard to their race ..." became quotas, and after Bakke, a system that e.g. awarded points to applicants for being black.

Trump is attacking DEI by removing references to achievements by women and racial minorities in government run commemorations. Are you going to try to deny this is because Trump and his minions are not misogynists and bigots? What other reasons could you attribute these actions to?

Few people on here like Trump. Just because Trump is bad does not mean that racial politics since 1960s, and especially in the years leading up to and in the aftermath of the Great Awokening, were in any way healthy. And actually, I think that woke riots that started in 2014 with Michael Brown contributed to Trump getting elected in the first place.
