Her remarks come after a Supreme Court ruling that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. The Welsh government said it was "carefully considering" the court's decision.

The BBC keep doing this. This isn't true. This is straightforwardly wrong in law. The ruling *only* applied to the Equality Act 2010. Trans women are still legally women for the vast majority of purposes! That's the whole point of the Gender Recognition Act.

I've put in a complaint. So can you.

Gafney (a middle-aged African-American woman with long grey hair wearing a black coat). “Our sacred texts do not proclaim or even envision a world without slavery and the subordination of women, but they lay a foundation for us to transcend them and their limitations—the limitations of those who claimed to hear God enshrining human bondage of all sorts: “Remember that you were slaves in Egypt.” “Do to others what you would have them do to you.” “What is hateful to you, do not do to another.” “In the Messiah there is no longer slave or free, male or female.” Wilda C. Gafney - Womanist Midrash

With the sedictive comforts of capitalism, «american dream» profits (fata morganas), externalizing every damage to nature, madmax discounting rates, and everlasting economic growth, the future always looks bright.

Photo of Sandi Toksvig with text "I won't stand by and let that happen. I will stand up each time and say no. Clearly, if you're anti-trans, it's because you don't have any trans friends. If you did, you wouldn't be able to look yourself in the [mirror] as you say these terrible things." She wants to see "more trans people in the public eye," whether it be in politics or on television. Offering a comforting word to the transgender community, she says: "Please know I understand and I'm here. I don't know for what, for a cuddle? I'm here to be the grandma lesbian who goes, 'Let's just keep going'."
