UK EAT overturns decision on procedural grounds

FutureTeashock

A massive judgement was handed down today in the United Kingdom!

An individual cannot be discriminated against for holding an axiomatic view that others find offensive, and that applies to my view that Transgender women are different from biological women.

I am now protected UNDER THE LAW from holding this view.

This is a hugely significant ruling and in my view, badly needed in the current face of woke extremism.

Any thoughts or views on today's ruling?

Thoughts?

-protected from holding it? A strange arrangement. You're likely confused.
-Have you researched the weight of UK case law in Ireland post-Brexit? Including their ability to diverge greatly from existing EU case law. I'd be interested in the forum's views on that generally.

Ireland is, and always will be, a Common Law jurisdiction and, given the ECHR was used in this case, it ABSOLUTELY applies in an Irish legal context.

Magna Carta , baby!

Its about time and was getting completely out of hand. It felt like nobody was allowed have an opinion anymore without been labelled as a transphobe

A good judgement, about time.

The recognition of biological reality is long overdue. The power that trans rights organisations have/had in opposition to that fact is unreal compared to the numbers they purport to represent.

Seems to me it was always a fight against biological women, invade their spaces, call them TERFS, get them fired etc., WTF was going on?

Good judgment. Might open some corporates/organisations eyes, you know those who could not wait to be "right on" and first in the Q for the Stonewall pat on the head.

Good woman Maya, it can't have been an easy gig for you.

Moderation: Yeah, we're not going to do this given that the OP and others quite clearly haven't read the actual judgment.
