RAMROD 117,141 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 A court has thrown out a challenge against the Scottish government's definition of a woman in law. The For Women Scotland group complained about the way a bill aimed at gender balance on boards had included trans people under the definition of women. They won an initial challenge earlier in 2022, but went back to court saying the law still conflates sex and gender. Judge Lady Haldane said that the definition of sex was "not limited to biological or birth sex". She said it could also include people with a gender recognition certificate after changing their legally recognised gender. The judge also stated that sex and gender reassignment were separate and distinct characteristics but were not necessarily mutually exclusive. In her decision, Lady Haldane wrote: "I conclude that in this context, which is the meaning of sex for the purposes of the 2010 Act, 'sex' is not limited to biological or birth sex, but includes those in possession of a GRC obtained in accordance with the 2004 Act stating their acquired gender, and thus their sex." The judgement comes the week before controversial Scottish government plans to make it easier for people to change their legally recognised gender are due to face a final vote at Holyrood.

She's such a f*cking loser I'll always love Harry Potter and I credit it to literally saving my life as a kid... but it's INSANE to see what she's become and how far down the rabbit hole she's fallen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
