Best of luck to Harriet and her legal team on Tuesday.
Though that said, as much as I want us to have reached the tipping point of this lunacy, I hold no hope when it comes to our judiciary.

The Schools Regulations as they currently stand effectively compel schools to provide some of their facilities on the basis of "biological sex".
This was the case before the decision by the Supreme Court in FWS.
The KCSIE guidance reflects this.

Is that Susan Smith of FWS actually admitting they've addressed a problem that doesn't actually exist?

I saw #MayaForstater smirking during evidence at recent #ScottishParliament Committee & the FWS woman earnestly representing #BeriasPlace & I reckon their ideological position allows for this acceptable collateral harm because it banishes trans folk from their societal landscape. It's very wrong.

Before I left teaching I did quite a bit of supply work and so got around several schools. There were quite a few doing this already (pre-FWS), especially on newer builds.
Not a single student complained about it then.
The transphobes only dislike it now because it doesn't hurt trans kids enough.

As the conversation continued, the other salaried feminists in the room asked questions like “I am so pleased that someone is talking about the consequences of FWS on cis lesbians. This is such important work.”

Yes. This is true of those facilities which are provided "single-sex" (which, as I say, is legally required by the Schools Regs, and has been since before FWS).
What it does not tell you is the significant other provision the school has put in place.
It's a floor, not a ceiling.

I should also point out that FWS wasn't the only appalling recent supreme court decision to completely rewrite the law. There was one about disabled persons' ability to consent that went rather more under the radar but is no less chilling.

This is genuinely good news because it solidifies trans people’s rights and has a future impact…
…it’s also important as a statement of just how out of step FWS is from the body of law the Equality Act was supposed to implement:

Wow this is huge if the UK wants to rejoin the EU, this ruling links legal gender recognition to freedom of movement, it also overrides local Supreme Court rulings effectively banning LGR.
So the UK SC ruling effectively making the Gender Recognition Act 2004 meaningless would likely be affected.

I'm not defending Rowling but the schools guidance is nothing to do with FWS or the Equalities Act. It's a completely separate horrendous thing this government has done.

The really weird bit about FWS is it didn't even go with a "biological" definition, just "Whatever is on this piece of paper, I guess" 🤷

Earlier this year I found myself in a room of professional feminists. The speaker had good politics overall, and was making a larger point about lesbophobia in the FWS decision. The problem was that she kept on using the phrase “biological women”. This presented me with a problem. The other women in
This is demonstrated every time an "ally" uses terms like "biological woman". This is the rhetorical language of transphobes trying to pass as scientific. It's hateful. But cis people of all types latched onto it, repeated it, and normalised it.
Because cis people listen to each other over us.

Trans people have been turned into an issue for non-trans people to opine and vote on while being utterly silenced and prevented from advocating for ourselves, and abandoned by putative allies who make no effort to understand our issues and let the disinformation go unchallenged.

tbh I'm a bit sceptical about the sheer number of FWs here. But I think "giving artists better tools" is the key point here.

No one associated with FWS is in jail - as you know. You are just lying in the hope mud will stick.

Yeah as Ethel has said, EU lawyers who have looked at this have as far as I have seen been very consistently of a mind that FWS was only possible because rulings of the CJEU no longer apply here. Rejoining would therefore immediately disapply FWS, owing to the supremacy of EU law within the EU.
