When For Women
Scotland won the appeal against the Scottish Government which in turn, cemented
and clarified in law what we already knew, that women were and have always been
biological women; I innocently thought that the fight had, not been won, but
that we could move forward on the basis that the ruling would be adhered to.
Oh sweet summer
child.
Some
organisations have capitulated, the Transit Police for example rolling back
their ridiculous decision to give biological men the power to strip search
women.
Crimes will no
longer recorded as chosen sex, but the person’s actual sex (although I note
some crimes go reported with no sex at all listed).
Many sport
associations are no longer allowing men into women’s sports.
What has become
apparently however, is that the powers that be simply don’t care about the
ruling.
Unison, the
country’s biggest union recently allowed a biological man to run for a female
seat. The Labour Women’s Conference has
been postponed. Some NHS Trusts and
Local Councils are blatantly ignoring the ruling, still allowing men into
women’s toilets and changing rooms, claiming that they need “further guidance”.
What further
guidance is needed I ask? Men cannot
ever become biological women or be acknowledged as being so. So says the Supreme Court. They therefore do not belong in women’s
spaces.
What these
organisations are telling us, what the Labour Government is telling us (see
also the text messages spread around by MPs after the ruling) is that they do
not care. The ruling means nothing to
them and they intend to carry on as they wish.
For Women
Scotland went through two judicial reviews and an appeal at the Supreme Court,
expending over two hundred thousand pounds in the process to get there, not to
mention hundreds of hours of time; only for us now to effectively be told that
it doesn’t matter.
So what does
this mean for women’s rights? When we win in the highest Court in the land, yet
that ruling is simply ignored by those who wish to.
I think in some
places the ruling was welcome. I
do not believe that many sport associations wanted a crossover of men in
women’s sports, effectively ruining every sport that they entered. But for many other organisations, Trusts,
Councils, the Government; it clearly was not.
The trans agenda
brings profit. It allows control. It brings a distraction when needed for the
Government to wield.
The trans agenda
was welcomed, encouraged, assisted and promoted by those in power because it is
useful to them. Because they have their
own agenda. Why else let organisations
mutilate children’s bodies with drugs that stem their growth and reduce their
bone density. Why else tell children
that they can be born into the wrong body and that there is a quick fix to all
their problems. Why else wave through women’s bathrooms being
made into gender neutral, allow men in our changing rooms and our rape crisis
centres, removing our safety and safe spaces in the process.
What do we do
now in the question? Someone brings a
Court case for each time the Supreme Court is ignored? They know that this is going to be an
impossible feat, not just from a financial point of view, or the time involved;
but also because we now have to wonder, is there any point?
If the Supreme
Court are to be ignored which it appears in many cases that they are being, how
can we fight this? Especially when our
own Government clearly did not want the ruling and by “postponing” the Women’s
Conference, they have made their stance quite clear.
What I fear is
that this will now escalate. I fear that
they will do away with the Equality Act all together, rewriting it so as to
make the rights of men who pose and cos play as women, front and centre.
What I see is that
the Government allowed this ruling to change the situation in things like
sports, but had no intention of following through with anything else. Which poses the question.
How far down
this rabbit hole of hell are we going to go?
