Women who transitioned decades ago feel their safety and security has suddenly been removed
Last week’s supreme court ruling sent shock waves through the UK’s trans community.
The unanimous judgment said the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 did not include transgender women who hold gender recognition certificates (GRCs).
That feeling was compounded when Kishwer Falkner, the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which is preparing new statutory guidance, said the judgment meant only biological women could use single-sex changing rooms and toilets.
They aren’t, but they feel entitled to harass or assault someone they think is trans. Hell, did you miss the story a few weeks ago where a cis female was screamed at for using the women’s bathroom? Discriminatory laws embolden this behavior
