Making the rights judgment call

THANK the stars for that. At last, a legal ruling stating nothing short of the flipping obvious that to be a woman, you have to BE a woman, natural-born with the XX chromosome. An indisputable, biological reality. Incredible, isn't it, that we actually needed a court of law to tell us that.

- 

If you're born a man with the XY chromosome, there's nothing to prevent you dressing like a woman, telling yourself you ARE a woman, living as a woman, and being fully entitled to be treated as a woman, with genuine respect for your identification with the female gender.

But biologically, you'll still be a man. You'll still have those XY chromosomes. And unless you opt for surgery, you'll still have male reproductive organs.

It's thanks to the straight-thinking, straight-talking judges at the Supreme Court that we can now all state these simple, irrefutable facts without fear of being cancelled.
