The ruling is a joy to read, honestly. It's even funny in parts, in a legalese and appropriate way but you can't miss what they're saying. Get your drink of choice and settle in for an evening. I need to read it again.

It would be a real gotcha if the Pope was to now declare himself a woman and wanted to be known as Lea, using female pronouns and female spaces.I see a few people on twitter (obviously including Willoughby) have seized on what they think is a very clever 'gotcha' argument.
The Pope, actually called Robert, now calls himself Leo 'and nobody minds do they? So why does anyone care if Steve calls himself Poppy-Rose? Eh? Eh?'
As it is, no-one minds him following convention and using a different male name.
Also nobody matters except them and how they feel. Big hulking blokes crying because a teenage girl doesn't want to play contact sports against them. Whinging because somebody called them sir when most people would laugh it off. I mean, if being misgendered happens enough times that you get upset about it, surely that's a clue that you aren't a woman?
PS My husband misgendered our female cat by calling her buddy, she just carried on washing her bum like a boss.
Bear in mind how hard it is to actually pass as a man. I know a lot of masculine women including a few transmen (interestingly, at 5'6" I'm taller than all of the latter) and not a single one of them passes as a man. One of them has done a pretty good job of hiding her mastectomy scars with tattoos (I saw when she posted a selfie at the men’s pond in Hampstead Heath) and maybe you'd be fooled in some pics, but in person she's built like a bird and has a higher voice than I have and I sing mezzo soprano. She also just doesn't act or move like a man.
I'm going to stop you right there 'Aimee' - no you fcuking aren't, and you never will be. And you shouldn't be referred to as she either.
No they never do but they think they do, they are warped, their magic mirrors are working overtime.They never blend into the backgroundand even if they did, they can't help announcing their transness, their oppression etc so we'd absolutely 100% know they are not what they say they are
This is where the inherent misogyny of gender ideology is blatantly apparent, as there’s no way a woman, or even someone pretending to be a woman, would ever be considered eligible for head of the Catholic Church.
Sure, they can wear dresses and call themselves a made-up name, but it’s always going to be a boys’ club
Re the Darlington nurse who was sexually abused, did anyone read the comments under the article?
One in particular referred to the gynaecological procedure that she needed. The person asked if her gynaecologist was a male, and then said they would assume it was (because she didn't say anything to the contrary in the article), and how was she fine with dealing with a male in that instance but not with having "Rose" in the operating theatre.
How bleeping dare they!

I stupidly went and read what they were saying about it on Trans Reddit, just don't.
I had to google Rose, Jesus wept there's nothing remotely feminine about that one.
There’s not a single space on Reddit I’ve found that speaks sense about these issues anymore.
it's the most pain I've ever experienced.
I had a hysteroscopy about 6 months ago. Practice must vary from trust to trust, because I was warned that it would be very painful and offered either a GA or local anaesthetic. I opted for the latter even though I was warned that it was only partially effective, as I didn't want to have to wait in recovery time etc. The team of five were all women. They were lovely - vey considerate. Even with the local anaesthetic injected, it was a very painful procedure indeed. The camera bit was OK, but they took five biopsies and I. felt every one of them! I don't think I could have borne it without pain relief - it doesn't surprise me that it was the worst pain you have ever experienced. Even with numbing it was horrendous. I certainly would never have chosen to have a second one with no anaesthetic.
Your Trust is appalling behaving the way it did. I hadn't realised how lucky I was with mine.
Very similar to my experience. I also had a "keep-you-calm" nurse who held my hand throughout and reassured me.I had that done recently, the consultant was excellent and spoke to me before the procedure about pain relief. They had gas and air that I could ask for at any time, and also said if that wasn't enough they could stop and I could be sedated. There were three people in the room, all female. One nurse spoke to me throughout and I was asked every few minutes whether I was okay and wanted pain relief. I thought that was standard practice, I'm sorry to hear it isn't.
These men who think putting on a dress makes them women really have no idea what women face every bloody day. I will never understand why women support them so much.
I agree with everything you have said - but I would really like to see these women who convincingly look like men. TIFs are usually too short and slight to 'pass' as men, proportions and gait are female, even subtle differences like eyes, hands, necks and posture are unmistakably female.
Women can effect a masculine look in a posed pic, but not irl.
Having said all that, a few months back, I posted on the Traitors thread that Alex?? was a TIF - cue shocked reactions from some posters that didn't believe me
We have no idea what sex the gyanecologist was but lets say he was male and every other person in the theatre was male too. It still wouldn't be a gotcha that she should have been alright with "Rose" because none of them have displayed fetishistic behaviour and tried to see this woman undressed for sexual or power reasons.
I kept waiting for that to be revealed, it was so obviousHaving said all that, a few months back, I posted on the Traitors thread that Alex?? was a TIF - cue shocked reactions from some posters that didn't believe me
Still banging the drum on changing rooms. Was in Primark on Friday and they only had Mens and All Genders fitting rooms available. Have emailed their head office quoting the ruling and copied in my very terfy MP. Husband thinks I’ve finally lost it, keeps saying it’s just shops but I am enraged.
I could weep for poor Karen, hope that NHS trust, along with Fife, are hung out to dry.

I saw a great response on X - ‘ I am a tall adult female - 5’11’ - I will be glad to push the button on the hand dryer for them’
They are always 5 ft nothing with wide hips and a wispy beard, the angles they show on Facebook are v deceiving.
I was trying to remember this name, but yes - this is the one I thought of, too. Always they smug little sneery smirk.
We . . . blend into the background.”
My lily-white a they do!
Just because women are intimidated into not objecting, it doesn't mean that these men go unnoticed.
