This paragraph from the excellent article in the Irish Examiner nails it.
#TransRights #SistersNotCISters
“It’s too early to know the practical ramifications of Wednesday’s UK Supreme Court ruling on trans identities, in which the meaning of the Gender Recognition Act was reversed without a single testimony from a trans person being heard, but said ruling has been a source of lip-smacking delight for the fringe group of gender-critical activists who have worked hard to making Britain the Anglosphere’s uncontested capital of galloping, gleeful transphobia.
And it is this glee, this sheer horrible joy at everything being done, that can be so hard to swallow, so wearying to comprehend. It’s not enough that decades of slow, painful advances in human rights and basic decency can be reversed in a matter of weeks, it’s that we must watch the world’s collective ghouls cackling loudly with ecstasy as it happens”

UPDATE;
I am adding this long and excellent article from The Gist, because it’s a really important one; it clarifies where the UK has gone wrong, and where the EU gives protections for trans people. It also points out at the end that the UK is going to have a little issue with that ruling from the Supreme Court….

Another important edit. - the science on genetics DNA and the variety of genders. The transphobes, Starmer and the Supreme Court judges really need to read and understand all of this.

This is one excellent journalist, who really gets to the heart of the matter.
And no, we do not want this very British hate and harassment coming to Ireland at all.
