Judgment according to court case – Great -Britain: no women’s rights for transvrouws

“The definition of gender in the 2010 Equality Law makes it clear that the concept of gender is binary, one person is a woman or a man,” said it in the judgment. Men would therefore exclude regulations for the protection of women.

The Women’s Rights Organization for Women Scotland (FWS) had sued the interpretation of the Scottish government. This had said that transvrouwen were counted to meet the quotas of women on board members. Their recognition applies to all areas of life.

Pregnancy protection for transmelams
The judges of the Supreme Court now said that this regulation excludes exaggerers who could give birth organic. Moreover, heterosexual men who have changed their gender to them would automatically become lesbian.

The decision means that a transgender person who is shown in documents as a woman is not regarded as a woman in the sense of the law on equal opportunities in Great -Britain. Protection against discrimination is not lifted, it said. For example, the judgment has when it comes to whether trans women are counted in the quotas of women and whether they can use places such as women’s envelopes.

“Gender determined before birth”
“Our position is that the gender, whether you are a man or a woman or a girl or a boy, is determined by the conception in the womb, even before birth, by your own body,” said a lawyer of the complaining FWs in court. The group celebrated after the judgment. Rowling, who donated dozens of pounds, has repeatedly noticed in the past with controversial statements to Transcers. The claimants had previously failed several times for the courts in Scotland.
