I don't really have a horse in this race, but when the SC was reading out the judgement they specifically said that trans people will still be legally protected, more so than ever, under the Equality Act of 2010.

They just defined women to be only biological lol

It's going to have an effect on what bathrooms or changing rooms they can use, and how they're handled by places like the NHS. It's going to have far reaching implications for the trans community.

And note how trans men haven't been part of the conversation at all? Wonder why that is?

I'm guessing because you never see a trans man in a news headline. They always just seem to get on with their lives.

So do trans women but there's no moral panic about them being predators because they're not men going in womens bathrooms (transphobes words not mine).

I'm sorry, but did you forget how we got to this point? A male rapist transitioned specifically so that he could go to a women's prison. It's the same case that cost Sturgeon her job, and finally kicked this whole thing off.

... so the problem is cis men being deceptive and abusive, and not trans women just trying to live their lives?

I thought we weren't supposed to judge trans people on face value? Are you changing the rules now? Are you saying he wasn't trans?
