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.

    How is it critical outside of reproduction? Why should anyone except for your doctor and partner care?

      Reproduction including everything that goes along with it- including dating, sexual attraction, interactions between different genders/sexes is a critical part of our evolution both as a species and a society

        Important for dating - yes, evolution - yes, government, administration and passports - no.

        So do you check the government ID of everyone you date to see if it’s ok to be horny for them?
