Activists warn against the impact of the Supreme Court decision on trans persons

Activists have warned that the decision of the British Supreme Court on the definition of a woman could have “disastrous consequences” for the safety of trans persons.

The MSP Maggie Chapman, MSP Maggie, MSP, told BBC Scotland News that the Trans community is now worried that “people come after their right to exist” following the decision.

And Kerrie Meyer, who had a gender reallocation at the age of 72, criticized the decision and said that she would recruit progress for trans people.

The judges ruled unanimously on Wednesday that a woman is defined by biological sex under the law of equality.

The Commission for Equality and Human Rights has declared that the decision would lead to a code of conduct updated for services, including NHS and prisons, potentially affecting spaces such as hospital services, changing rooms and domestic shelters.

The Scottish government had argued that transgender people with a gender recognition certificate (RCMP) are entitled to same -sex protections as biological women.

But the judges reassured themselves with the campaign group for Women Scotland, who brought a case against sexual protections that sexual protections should only apply to women born.

Kerrie Meyer, who lives in Shetland, argued that the decision meant that: “At the pen of the pen, the security and the well-being of all transgender people, that they are now considered as biological men and women, is in danger.

“The decision of the Supreme Court has created serious implications for all trans persons and has not taken into account the disastrous consequences and the untenable results that will occur.”

Kerrie, who is now 77, moved to Shetland from Hastings to East Sussex in 2008 and was founder of the Shetland Islands Pride Festival.

She said that the rights of trans persons had been put forward by the 2004 law on the recognition of the sexes and the law of equality of 2010, and that she believes that the affair of the Supreme Court was motivated by “reserving and maintaining” the spaces of the women of trans women, that they did not hold a ROC

Kerrie told BBC Radio Scotland that it would be “totally and totally ridiculous” for her to change her behavior in public, adding: “I was born a man. By virtue of the law, I am a woman. I dress like a woman. I act like a woman. And I am a woman.

“If I go to the toilet and there is another woman in there, they do not know if I have a certificate of gender recognition or not.”

Kerrie also believes that recognition certificates should only be granted if someone has undergone gender realloring surgery.

Under the new decision, a person born of male sex but who identifies himself as a woman does not have the right to use a space or service designated as women only, even if they have legally changed their sex.

Baroness Kishwer Falkner, the EHRC chair, said that trans people should use their “plea power” to request installations including a “third space” for the toilet.

She said on the BBC Teday program: “Services with one sex like changing rooms must be based on organic sex. If a man is authorized to use, it is no longer a single sexual space.”

She added that the decision was “a victory for common sense that if you acknowledge that trans people exist, they have rights and that their rights must be respected”.

Baroness Kishwer has added public organizations like the NHS should update their advice and that CEHC would continue all organizations that have not done so.

The MSP Maggie Chapman, an eminent supporter of Trans Rights, told the BBC Good Morning Scotland program that the decision “would stretch the fires of the cultural war” and the people now feared to lose access to the facilities they used, in some cases, for decades.

She said: “Women Scotland’s response and other associated groups was very, very clear – they take it as a victory and it is potentially dangerous in the place where they go.

“We have already heard people say that they wanted to repeal the 2004 law on the recognition of the sexes, and the trans people fear that people come after their right to exist.”

She added that trans people had been attacked in recent years “just to be who they are” and that it was “concerned” by the impact of the Supreme Court decision.

However, Rachel Hamilton, Scottish Conservatives, told Good Morning Scotland that the court’s decision was “of common sense” and that the “clarity” of the trans debate.

She said: “The reason why we found ourselves at the Supreme Court is because there was confusion in Scotland. Now we have a clear and unambiguous decision on what is a biological woman.”

She said the Scottish government should make a ministerial statement on how they were going to move forward with the decision of the Supreme Court.

ASH REGAN, the MSP of the Alba party which left the SNP on the position of the party on gender, filed a motion to the Scottish Parliament calling for an “urgent action” to end self-identification in Scottish hospitals, public organs, schools and prisons.

She said it was a “victory for women across the country” and that current gender self-identification laws compromised “security, privacy and dignity” of women and girls.

Régan told BBC Scotland News that the verdict yesterday was a “humiliation” for the Scottish government.

She added: “The government made fun of Scotland by going to the Supreme Court to say that men can be lesbians. They must take note – this ideology has taken root in the public sector.

“The government could begin (maintaining women’s rights) today by issuing very clear advice for the entire public sector and they could send a very strong signal by removing men in the field of women’s prison.”

A code of practice updated by the EHRC should be posed before the Parliament before summer recess.

The code helps service providers, public organizations and associations to understand their functions under the equality law and puts them into practice.

The Minister of Finance of the Scottish Government, Shona Robison, previously told BBC News that the administration would work with the CEHC and the British government “in Pace” on the councils.

British transport police have announced that, while before someone with a RCMP could be searched by their acquired sex, the officers have now been informed that homosexual searches in detention would be undertaken by the biological relations of the birth of the person.
