Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.
At least now little girls who dream of Olympic medals will know that biological males can't cheat their way onto their podium...or punch them relentlessly in the face and get a medal for it.
Credit to Sharron Davies and Martina Navratilova, who spoke up despite attacks from those who should've known better.
They spoke up when it was easier to stay quiet and paid the price in lost income and support.
Update to the update: the response to this has been so massive that the Lumos website is struggling to cope. It will need to be taken offline for an hour to remedy the situation.
People really seem to like KFC.
@dave43law@MailOnline Don’t be so dumb. Women will not go for mammograms if a man is doing them so they will be undiagnosed anyway. Hire more female staff.
Press Statement – For Women Scotland
Today, the Supreme Court has confirmed what women across the country already knew. Sex matters.
This is a landmark victory, not just for For Women Scotland, but for every woman who has been told to sit down, shut up, and make way.
The Court has recognised that women's rights must be based on biological sex, not on self-declared identity.
This ruling restores legal clarity and reaffirms the purpose of the protections written into the Equality Act.
This win protects all women, including trans-identifying females, by ensuring maternity rights, women-only spaces, and female-focused services are grounded in reality.
It puts a clear boundary around what it means to be female in law and pushes back against a men’s rights movement that has tried to colonise womanhood.
We thank the brave women who fought this case and the thousands who stood behind them. This is your victory. But the fight isn’t over. We will keep pushing until sex-based rights are not only protected—but respected.
