I *think* it's because, with very limited exceptions, doing that would constitute "impeaching or questioning proceedings in Parliament", which the courts are forbidden to do by article IX of the Bill of Rights 1689.

(For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not defending last week's ruling, which I think is both morally and technically wrong.)

From the same article, this more recent woman also demonstrates how biology confounds the unwary.

Sarah Gronert – German tennis player. She was born as intersex with both male and female genitalia.

Strange how some women attract online vitriol, whereas others don't get the same attention.

IIUC (and this is not defending the WESTMINSTER "Supreme" Court, or the judgement), the court deals with the law AS WRITTEN, not the Hansard palaver around it. THAT is for Parliament to consider if amending the law.

Which is the next step, after this "final" decision.

No, I did not specify "which" Parliament. That remains an open question.

so far done is twice with zero response

I've got more stamps 🤷‍♀️

Wrote to mine last week, boilerplate Labour-Party-Line reply which didn't engage with any of my specific (evidenced!) points about safety for trans or cis folk.

I expected as much as he's a newbie who is kinda in cabinet and all but 1 reply have been Labour Party Line (the 1 was not a well known issue)

But still worth doing as he has to count how many fors/againsts he gets and we need to outnumber the transphobes by reality!

@rmblaber1956

Do it anyway. People tend to notice when an issue starts creating excessive work for them or their staff, and word of that will get back to the whips regardless of what the individual MP thinks - and hopefully make them realise they've misjudged the wider position of the public.

i identify as a cis male. every day, i'm called 'fag' and/or 'freak.'

since becoming homeless, i've decided not to care if clothes were for 'men' or 'women.' all i care about is if they fit, and how they look on me.

i do not try to look like a female person, i'm not a female impersonator.

and since most of the white male homeless people are idiot racist 'christians,' they claim the right to kill anyone that is not like them.

i'm not safe, anywhere i go.

fuck it, though - just living my life.

and many of my most consistent tormentors seem to wind up dead. nothing i do - it's just divine justice.

there's nothing like goddess love!

I always have a hard time putting that part into words. Thank you.

Relatedly, quick question, is there a new term that's a direct replacement for gender dysphoria or does your wording reflect the concept itself being limited and worth moving away from? I guess I'm a bit oit of date on some of this.

You give people depression meds, you give people the ability to medically transition.

actually I could totally see them taking away the depression meds. president musk has made it so I can no longer use reductios ad absurdum.

Cis men are utterly terrified of the idea that children might learn that biology isn't destiny, that you can legitimately change your sex and gender, by whatever definition of those terms you wish to pursue.

And very few people stop to consider why they are so insistent about this and whether or not this irrational fear ought to be considered a mental disorder, when it absolutely ought to be.
