#uksc — Public Fediverse posts

Well that's disappointing.

A few weeks ago I sent my MP an email via #GoodLawProject using this form

https://action.goodlawproject.org/force-government-rip-ehrc%E2%80%99s-transphobic-guidance

I now have a boilerplate reply that says nothing beyond what I already told them

Usually he's quite helpful

This is going to be bad

Mapowanie NIS2 w praktyce: jak Wazuh i Zabbix pokrywają wymagania art. 21

Znowelizowana ustawa o krajowym systemie cyberbezpieczeństwa (UKSC) obowiązuje w Polsce od 2 kwietnia 2026 r., a wraz z nim NIS 2 – dyrektywa, której Polska nie zdążyła transponować w terminie UE (17.10.2024 r.), a której konsekwencje będą dotyczyły bezpośrednio zarządów. Do końca października 2026 r. istnieje obowiązek samoidentyfikacji i rejestracji,...

One Year On: 13 people on the ruling that changed their lives

On 16 April 2025, the UK’s Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on their biological sex assigned at birth. Forget the rage-bait headlines and attempts to divide us through fear – this is the reality of that ruling, as told through 13 lives.

#PoliceScotland's new policy as reported here is illegal, because it takes no account of a #GenderRecognitionCertificate (#GRC).

The atrocious #UKSC decision in #FWS allows a GRC to be disregarded for purposes of the #EA2010. But it doesn't override a GRC for other purposes.

#GRA2004 §22 still applies: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/7/section/22

Disclosing info relating to a GRC is a criminal offence. The police focus on "BiologicalSex" risks routine illegal disclosure. I hope #trans are ready to sue

@tony The #UKgov has only 2 possible levels of appeal:

1/ to the Court of Appeal (#EWCA)
2/ to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (#UKSC). The #HomeSecretary #ShabanaMahmood says she wants to appeal, but I dunno if leave to appeal has been granted.

Both levels of appeal would probably take ~18–24 months to get a final answer from UK courts.

However, if the UK courts back the govt, then #HudaAmmori could appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (#ECtHR). Probably another 2–3 years.

@GeofCox I share @benofbrown's caution.

#BridgetPhillipson's track record on #trans rights is atrocious. If #Phillipson wanted to support trans people, the simple remedy would be to pass a one-sentence amendment to the #EA2010 making a GRC define sex in the EA as it does elsewhere. The #UKSC ruling in #FWS would be redundant.

This intervention marks a useful but small retreat from the #EHRC's extremist #transExclusion agenda. Phillipson just wants to crap on us less crudely.

Excellent letter in #TheGuardian from Labour #MP Rachel Taylor about the destructive role of the #UK #EHRC's chair, the hardline #transphobe #KrisherFalkner, whose "ideological interpretation" of the #UKSC judgment in #FWS "risks marginalising transgender people". https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/nov/03/equality-commission-guidance-after-sex-ruling-is-fundamentally-unworkable

Of course, Taylor diplomatically understates the problem. Falkner does not "risk marginalising #transgender people"; #trans exclusion is her clear goal.

There are also signs of possible govt caution ...

Absolutely, @simon_brooke. The #UKSC inverted reality, and stripped rights that parliament had clearly intended to confer.

That could have been done honestly by Parliament. It could have voted to clarify definitions either way, and it could still do so. A simple amendment could undo the #FWS judgment.

But my meta point is that both with Andrew and with #trans people, UK law was simply pulled out of a conjurer's hat, then solemnised as if it was ancient. The "#BritishConstitution" is a farce.

Smilarly, the #UKSC's stripping of trans rights in #FWS could have been done in a very simple bill amending the Equality Act 2020. That would still have been a cruelly devastating breach of #ECHR rights, but at least it would have been procedurally honest.

#UKania does sometimes do procedural honesty. But it's optional.

END OF THREAD

This is of course what happened In the #UKSC's judgment in #FWS. The judges refused to hear any opposing arguments, ignored all the evidence in parliamentary proceedings of the clearly stared intent of ministers. They then proceeded to not just gut the existing statutory framework and overturn it, but to do so on the basis of absurdist concepts such as "biological sex", which they didn't even attempt to define.

In both cases, sleight of hand is masquerading as law.

Mastadon #legal hive mind may I beg your opinion please

The #UKSC ruled that #Trans people are the sex they were identified as at birth based on the Equality Act 2010

They also suggested amending the Equality Act would be difficult

What would be the effect of deleting or amending the Gender Recognition Act 2004 Section 9(3) ?

To me it looks like this'd return #Trans people to the state they were in before the #UKSC ruling

Happy to be corrected

Over 350 academic historians have signed an open letter condemning “attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community” from the Labour government.
Published on Friday (2 May), the open letter expresses significant concerns over the government’s treatment of trans issues following a UK Supreme Court ruling which excludes #trans people from the legal definitions of women and sex in the 2010 Equality Act.

#UKSC #LGBT #transgender

I never doubted that British #transphobes were primarily driven by a desire to control the lives of #trans people. Exploiting the fears of cis women was only a means to that end.

But it's helpful to see it confirmed here in writing by Sex Matters, along with other anti-trans #astroTERFs. Their pitch to Wes Streeting is simple: the #UKSC has made trans lives unliveable, so you should ensure that they are not lived.

See the letter at https://sex-matters.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/20250428-Letter-to-Sir-James-Mackey-and-Wes-Streeting.pdf or https://sex-matters.org/posts/publications/letter-to-the-ceo-of-nhs-england/

@prismnpen the people that do that to me will be treated as the sex they’re not assigned.
Then I will no longer engage with them.
#uksc are scum.

We might, for example, ask how the #UK Supreme Court is performing in terms of gender #equality at the bench. The results are not uplifting: After a slight improvement in the late 2010s, around half the judgments (48%) published since 2020 are signed by panels of exclusively male justices.

Despite a terrible historical track record for gender balance at the #UKSC, there seems to be no sign of improvement over time, with last year having the worst #gender balance in recorded history.

I scrape data from the official website of the #UKSC illustrating various techniques for data gathering and management using #rstats. The data is also published on my website, providing information about Supreme Court judgments from 2009 until today.

Interested in empirical legal studies? I have just published a beginners' guide to collecting data from online sources, illustrated through the collection of data on the judgments of the UK Supreme Court!
https://brekke.it/?page=content&id=2024-06-10-Introduction_to_web_scraping

The guide is intended for social scientists and legal scholars interested in getting started with empirical research, but who are unsure how to get started in order to collect data from online sources.
