FOR WOMEN SCOTLAND, you did well.
It took these women (3) of them under this umbrella and those behind them to fight for the right of biological females. That is feminism we are proud of and want to be associated with where our daughters are protected from wolves have started swallowing them up already without care.

They made biological females feel so bad and frustrated because they can only come alive when they subdue their enemy which is woman.

They want to reduce women to 12 century slaves, courtesan, mistresses and what have you agsin who only live for the sole pleasure of men. Women right fought for over the centuries in the mud.

"Gender gap" based on Western concepts, not Korean beliefs. Western concepts are not universally binding. Women in Kano believe they are free, but those in Imo don't believe the same. The problem becomes when Imo women try to dictate to Kano women on what to adhere to.

As for "gender gap", a gender friendly society does not increase birth rates. The birth rates across the Nordics, seen as the most "gender equal" societies, are equally very low. Although not as low as South Korea. Japan, another society ranked low on gender friendliness, like South Korea, has a higher birth rate. Niger Republic is not gender friendly or equal, but has a higher birth rate.

In summary, feminism and gender friendliness lead to lower birth rates, not the opposite.
I can tell you about south Korean politics, culture and traditions more than I can talk about Nigeria. The rest of your write up means nothing to me.
Don't talk about a country if you know nothing about their culture and traditions.

Chile is a wealthy society, so lower birth rates aren't surprising. Although, there hasn't been any non-wealthy country with a low birth rate, Southeast Asian countries are likely to form a trend where not so wealthy countries have low birth rates.

Apparently, having so many children is a sign of poverty.



But the rate being so low (below 1%) makes Chile synonymous with South Korea. One common tie between both countries is extreme Ndi ifeminismi grin
South Korean ranked 105th out of 146th in ge der gap. Do you know what that means?

Odd that a society, very advanced for that matter requires a court decision to define a woman.
When wokeism happens, logic is thrown out of the window.

1+1 is no longer 2.
So we need the law to draw us back to basics

The NHS will be pursued if it does not follow new guidance on single-sex spaces, the chairwoman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has said.

Along with other public bodies, the NHS will be receiving guidelines after the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.

"We've been speaking to the health service for an inordinately long time - we will now be asking them when they will be updating their advice," Baroness Falkner told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Currently the NHS guidance says trans people should be accommodated according to the way they dress, their names and their pronouns. Under the ruling this would be scrapped.

Five key takeaways from Supreme Court ruling

The EHRC says it is "working at pace" to provide an updated code of conduct for services, including the NHS and prisons, and it expects its updated guidance to be in place by the summer.

The ruling could have implications for spaces such as hospital wards, changing rooms and domestic refuges.

Asked whether the EHRC would pursue the NHS if it doesn't change, Baroness Falkner replied "yes we will".

"We will be having those conversations with them to update that guidance," she said.

An NHS spokesperson told the BBC the service was "reviewing guidance on same sex accommodation" and as part of this process "will consider and take into account all relevant legislation and the Supreme Court ruling".

Wednesday's case was brought by women's rights campaigners who challenged the Scottish government, arguing sex-based protections should apply only to people that are born female.

Judges ruled that when the term "woman" is used in the Equality Act it means a biological woman, and "sex" means biological sex.

This means a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) - a legal document that recognises an individual's gender identity - will now not change a person's legal sex for the purposes of the Equality Act.

The Supreme Court justices argued this was the only consistent, coherent interpretation.

There is already Equality Act guidance which allows for women-only spaces, such as toilets, changing rooms and hospital wards in certain circumstances.

But under the new ruling a person who was born male but identifies as a woman does not have a right to use a space or service designated as women only.

That includes transgender women who have legally changed their gender and hold a GRC.

Baroness Falkner talks to Today's Nick Robinson about the Supreme Court ruling

Baroness Falkner said trans people should use their "power of advocacy" to ask for facilities including a "third space" for toilets.

"Single-sex services like changing rooms must be based on biological sex if a male person is allowed to use - it's no longer a single sex space."

She added the ruling was "a victory for common sense only if you recognise that trans people exist, they have rights and their rights must be respected".

British Transport Police said trans women in custody would now be searched by male officers as an interim measure while it reviews its policies and practices.

"Under previous policy, we had advised that someone with a GRC may be searched in accordance with their acquired sex," a spokesperson said.

"However as an interim position while we digest yesterday's judgement, we have advised our officers that any same sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee."

Baroness Falkner said the next stage of litigation may well be tests of the efficacy of GRCs.

Asked about whether she thought GRCs were now "worthless", she replied: "We don't believe they are. We think they're quite important."

The new guidance could also have an impact on women's sport, where the question over whether transgender women can participate has been a high-profile issue in recent years.

Sports have tightened up rules around transgender athletes at the elite levels. Athletics, cycling and aquatics have banned transgender women from taking part in women's events, while other sports have put in place eligibility criteria.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said a review on gender and equality laws was "a good idea".

Speaking to broadcasters during a visit to Cambridge, she said: "We need to make sure that the law is clear and the public bodies follow the law, not guidance from organisations that don't understand it."

She added the laws needed to be updated to ensure that they are "there to prevent discrimination, not for social engineering".

Watch: What Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of a woman means... in 65 seconds

Scottish Greens MSP Maggie Chapman, a prominent supporter of trans rights, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme the decision would "stoke the fires of the culture war" and trans people now feared they could lose access to facilities they've used, in some cases, for decades.

She added that trans people had been attacked in recent years "just for being who they are" and she was "concerned" about the impact of the Supreme Court decision.

Trans rights campaigners have said they will be examining the judgment closely to decide on their next steps.

The UK government has welcomed the "clarity and confidence" for women and service providers brought by the judgement.

A government spokesperson said: "Single sex spaces are protected in law and will always be protected by this government, and trusts should follow the clarity the ruling provides."

Health minister Karin Smyth said the government would be reviewing the ruling to "make sure we are fully compliant with it" and would be working with equality bodies to make sure organisations were fully compliant.

She said the government was not interested in "so-called culture wars" and believed that everybody should have "their dignity and privacy and their rights respected".

"I think now is the time to make sure that we look to the future, that rights are very clear for people and that service providers absolutely make sure they comply with the law," she said.



For clarity.
THE SUPREME COURT NO MATTER WHERE IT SITS AS LONG AS ITS CIVIL MATTER REPRESENTS ALL PARTS OF UK.

UNLESS IT CRIMINAL CASE, THEN SCOTLAND ACTS ON ITS OWN.

THE CASE THAT WAS RULED RECENTLY WAS A CIVIL CASE.

Hated by feminists because she is transphobic 😂🤣
The irony

How it started?
LGBT people will work in a Christian bakery and ask them to go against their beliefs to bake cakes gay cakes. If you refuse, they have your business closed.
They never went into Muslim bakeries for some reason.

Misgendering someone who is obviously a man could cause you to lose your job, be publicly shamed, etc.

Women cannot even say no to men competing with them even if they don't like it. They have to smile in front of the camera or be labeled transphobic. That's just a little to show my people are fighting back.

They don't want to be like normal people, they want to be special people with special powers. Men are given the title of best woman of the year 😂

If they can live like normal people, and allow people to make phone of them like every other person in society everyone will be happy
Bobrisky came to mind. He said he doing what he is doing to get attention and money I an interview with chude. Somebody that said he will marry and have kids. When his dad died,he became normal and a man. And the media awarded him best female dressed in a country like Nigeria. He went too far and didn't know when to stop.

That's how these people are. Give them one, they will demand for 2 and when you refuse,they will come for your hide.
The west was very impatient.
Should have learnt from Thailand.

Sometimes I begin to wonder if we can't differentiate morals from immorals.

Now CBEX don jakpa with ur money, everybody deh insult CBEX, people are crying online, even those that were worshipping yahho boys are cursing CBEX.

They are both the same, just different victims, Yahoo boys stole other people's money and flaunt it with you while CBEX stole ur money and flaunt it with others.
So all the ladies in your family and life prefer yahoo boys?

I never have a problem with trans people. They however should keep off female only areas like washrooms, saunas, locker rooms and sports.
There was a trans who impregnated female inmates, not that the women complained but twas plain idiocy allowing guys in female prisons . This is still going on.
There are trans who fail at the men's sports and switch to females easily defeating them. A volleyball player was spiked on the head by a trans, she was diagnosed with neurological impairments such as a concussion, vision problems, partial paralysis to the right side of her body and various "blank spaces" that she'll never remember, as per her statement. She also lost the ability to drive for several months and needed help with schoolwork as she couldn't retain information like before.

How is that not insanity,allowing such cases.
Never forget Democrats are causing chaos about a single MS-13 member sent back to his country .
Yes, that is paining people so much. And females who should stand up for their fellow females are actually the ones encouraging this. This is where feminism should have had a voice and gain more members but they left feminist ideologies and became woke in the hands of politicians.

The speed with which this started gaining momentum in schools around me especially primary was alarming. Kudos to whoever that will explain that simple biology to kids.

LGBTQ people being more violent and aggressive is the lie from hell that people like me refuse to validate. That’s the attack I’m talking about. More violent crimes, more abuses both abuse of men, women and children are done by heterosexual men.

In Nigeria, The people kidnapping Nigerians off the streets everyday, butchering them for parts, killing villagers in their homes and farms, raping children are all heterosexual men. In America the same thing. Straight men account for more than 80% of all violence meted out to the general population. No one has called for all straight people to be punished for the crimes a percentage of us commit.


Not only do you not have common sense, you’re also a pathological liar. You don’t even bother to lie with sense. You just lie as it comes to you.

So for you to confidently lie about something you know is false just to propagate the narrative of them being out to get everyone proves my point. This malicious rhetoric you guys spread sets a scene where people turn an eye and justify when violent cruelty is done to them.

I guess that’s the end goal.

Now that the judge ruled in favor of what you wanted. Let’s see what else you will use as political fodder.

Meanwhile I’m waiting for the ruling on trans men. It’s almost as if people forgot they exist too. Just always wanting to use women’s issues that anyone can see you don’t care about for political advantage.

And…Stop adding links to your responses to me. I don’t click on your links.
I think that govts sincerely is not handling this lgbt stuff well hence the public outcry and disdain.

Females have automatically become a protected characteristics which ought not be that way.

For example, in locker rooms to show fairness and Equality, get a locker room for them. They are literally forcing them into women space and we can see most of the repercussions. Anybody can claim anything and automatically lopped with women who they can take advantage of.

You want to participate in sports, do that on with your own and not women.
Just don't crawl on a woman's space. That is what I think that the Supreme Court considered as being unfair.
Another examples, in some unis here, there are so many foreigners and schools will automatically shut down when they stop coming in. Those foreigners might not care about lgbt as long as they don't crowd their space. The moment they start doing that, that is the end of educational tourism which no western govt will want cos the students will stop applying. Schools in the west are open today cos of international students.
It's one thing to push an agenda, then again, think about others while doing that else it's selfishness.
I have no problem with Anybody but don't gag my freedom. That is what they do and it's disgusting.

I didn't make a survey so won't cook up a stat but lots of people are not happy about these things.

It wasn't this wild and endearing until American govt started pushing and forcing countries to embrace that.

Uk has gender recognition act since 2004 and systematically creating awareness for the public but what is happening in America emboldened these guys to start going all out like in America.
The same with Thailand. Though called gay capital of the world and there is no thai drama gay will not be recognised. They created awareness for centuries. Lgbt gained unofficial recognision in Thailand since 14th century and it's only this year same sex marriage was signed into law. Those going to Thailand to marry these past yrs must have thought differently. They must have thought it was elderorado. This was a fight fought for since centuries ago. Majority if not all thai people accepted them before they were officially recognised. The west is literally new in this and they want to run before crawling. And here we are. They have not yet started. Also,thailand didnt force other countries to join them like america is doing.

I studied Thai gay community cos I was fascinated by that when I started watching Thai lakorn. The gay community in Thailand is so different from what we see in the west. So opposite. Uk is even calm and cool but America with their gra gra spoiled everything.

With apologies, but this is not true. If you discriminate in employment against a transgender person, you are violating the Equality Act 2010. It is illegal under the act to refuse to hire a transgender because of their transgenderism, and you'd be sacked for violating the Equality Act 2010 if you abuse a transgender colleague at work.

Stating you do not want to be treated by a transgender person is however not discriminating against a transgender person, same as not wanting to be treated by a woman or man is not discriminating against men or women. You can't however say you don't want to be served in a restaurant by a transgender person. If you do, the restauranteur will likely ask you to leave without being served because the transgender can sue the employer for discrimination.

Do note there's also hate crimes. If you abuse a transgender on the street because of their transgenderism, you'd be committing a hate crime similar to abusing a white person because of their whiteness or a hijab wearing woman because of her hijab.
Talk to Supreme Court judges,not me. I didn't make that ruling yesterday. They did.

What is equalities act 2010?
The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society.
So Supreme Court is saying trans are not protected by the act.

Case study is that latest one I posted up there. I may have missed one or 2 things but that is just the summary.

There are some patients that don't want trans healthcare practitioners to attend to them no matter what and they are brits. If trans people attend to them, they are violating this right cos they are not biologically female or male. Also some may be highly traumatised and resist service. Actually, it's happening already.
That case was a big disappointment to everybody.
What a great sigh of relief. Kudos to the Supreme Court. That is what they should be. Voice to the voiceless.

I am thinking that case will be summarily dismissed and the nurse apologised to, recalled and compensated. Therapy should be included cos she will be so traumatised by how the system betrayed her.
Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by descarado: 10:52pm On Apr 16, 2025
Judges at the UK Supreme Court have unanimously ruled that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.


Greatest win of the century!!!!!!!

I am speechless.


Modified.
Not long ago, a female nurse was fined and sentenced to jail in a very controversial ruling because a man who identified as a female was changing in a female locker room where only her was in and almost naked and she was not comfy with it and told the he/she/they to leave. The he/she/they laid a complaint about discrimination and blabla bla bla. Fast forward ti 2 yrs or so later, the female nurse was found guilty and charged I think last month. Female healthcare workers started looking for work outside frantically and they know what's coming so Supreme court has to put an end to the drama cos that ruling will spring up more things that doesn't make sense.
So yeah, I can change my work clothes in peace. Na toilet we dey enter.
