The Supreme Court did not say the legal definition of 'woman' is based on your 'biological sex' for all legal purposes - it is for the Equality Act only.

Which is fucking terrible on its own and sets a precedent

But please don't let the inaccurate article titles convince you that all is lost.

This does not change:

the GRA's legal pathway to getting a GRC (including issuance of new birth certificates - which ensures the appropriate gender identity for marriage/civil partnership, and pension rights provision)

or the the EA's protection of trans people from discrimination on the basis of gender reassigment.

or access to changing your gender in administrative areas - like the marker on passports.

TERFs may be celebrating this as resulting in total exclusion of all trans women, both with or without GRCs, from 'female-only' spaces.

This is not true. Today's decision did not allow that - sex based exceptions for 'proportionate' reasons was and still is the rule.

If a trans woman is excluded from a women-only space -

Today's ruling means she cannot claim sex-based discrimination as a woman. But, she can still claim she was discriminated against based on gender-reassignment. However, like I said, the Government has already said this sort of sex-based exception would be legal under the EA if it's for 'proportionate' reasons. (In its arguments, today's judgement confirmed that). It's still unclear if today's judgement will have any effect on this - other than groups feeling emboldened by it to exclude trans people. Or law/policy-makers being encouraged to amend other legislation or policies.

The ruling is still horrifying, and all outrage is totally justified.

But I want to make clear that what TERFs are claiming about the practical legal impact of this judgement on single-sex spaces is not true.

Neither is the claim that the legal definition of 'woman' no longer includes trans-women in any law other than the EA.

source 1, source 2, the judgement

UPDATE: "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"."

This is in response to the chairwoman of the EHRC saying they will issue new guidance to public bodies (including the NHS and prisons on single-sex spaces -

"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.

many autistic people need people use simpler words when talking to them

many autistic people need tasks broken into tiny steps to understand how do something

many autistic people need positive feedback in way that other think condescending

many autistic people childish and have childish interests

many autistic people have to always be supervised never alone because of risk of hurt self or get in dangerous situations

many autistic people have violent messy big meltdown, even in public

many autistic people struggle with speech always will maybe rest of life (non verbal, semi verbal, demi verbal etc.)

AND most of these autistic people higher support needs + level 2 & 3 autism, don’t forget or ignore us. can’t say “that not true just stereotypes” when it just symptom and sign of higher support needs higher level autism.

you want to raise awareness for lower support needs level 1 autism and yes good ok!!!! but not this way where throw HrSN level 2+3 autistic under bus.

A lot of religious paintings fit FNAF because William can't go 5 minutes without:

- killing someone

- cheating death

- trying to create life

not all things scary are bad

heavily referenced from Thomas Blackshears painting 'watchers in the night'

Happy Autism Acceptance to everyone who is "too much" even when it's a positive emotion

Shout out to everyone who has "dangerous" symptoms even when happy. I see dangerous stims discussed when in meltdowns but not as much when you're excited.

Shout out to everyone who has to be redirected from biting themselves when their favourite song comes on because they're excited

Shout out to everyone who has concussed themselves by rocking or hitting themselves when someone asks about their favourite animal because they're excited

Shout out to everyone who has to wear gloves going to their favourite place so they don't scratch themselves or pull out their hair because they're excited

Shout out to everyone who has pre-programmed AAC sections to explain when they're screaming because they're happy Vs when it's because they're upset

When the fnaf movie came out i had to wait until it was on streaming even though I ADORE cinemas because I knew that I would spend the entire movie being uncontrollably loud and chaotic because FNAF is my special interest.

friendly reminder that it’s not ok to mock how high tech AAC sounds

I Know it pronounces stuff weird sometimes and I Know it sounds robotic you don’t have to tell me. I know. some of us are hyper aware of it. stop pointing out shit we have no control over.

it’s mean to make fun of how somebody speaks verbally and it’s mean to mock somebody speaking with technology. don’t do it.
