The UK Supreme Court ruling acknowledges that trans people are entitled to human rights.

They are further granted special protections from bullying and harassment, which is needed.

What is not protected are the entitled demands to be in women’s spaces whenever they want to be.

What is not acknowledged is that trans-identified men (trans women) have basically the same criminality rate as other men when it comes to sexual and violent assaults. (Although the UK prison stats indicate a higher rate of sex offenders among trans-identified men than the general male prison population.)

And trans-identified women (trans men) have the same sexual victimization rate as other women.

Because violence and sexual harassment and assaults are still a primary tool used by men to control women, we have sex-based protections, which the UK Supreme Court defined.

Gender has nothing to do with it.

"The UK Supreme Court ruling acknowledges that trans people are entitled to human rights."

Absolutely. Despite the exhausting victimhood-baiting, this was never about denying trans people human rights. It was about challenging the special privileges they were demanding that no other man has or considers himself entitled to.

Change your body any way you like. That is your absolute right. But when you want to start altering the way society functions because of your choice, that, good fellow, merits a serious conversation. And if you don't get your way in every single detail, that is not oppression.

There is nothing I find more detestable than cowards who comment from behind a block. If you have something to say, why not find the courage to say it to the person it's directed at? Anyway, bye now!!
