Former judge Dr Victoria McCloud is planning to challenge the UK Supreme Court ruling at the European Court of Human Rights because she like many of us feel it impinges on her freedom and human rights. I support her and wish her well. It annoys me that the government could pass an act and then completely renege on it after twenty years of it sort of working, so they have very seriously affected my human rights and yet still take taxes off me. I would not pee on this government if it caught fire.

Transgender Have Little Suppor
If one reads down to the bottom of that article it seems the LGB has dropped the T. It seems transgender is once again left behind because we are such a "tiny number" we are not worth considering as part of the human race.
Kate Barker, of the campaign group LGB Alliance, said: "The needs and wishes of a tiny number of trans women like Victoria McCloud cannot supersede the rights of 34 million women in the UK who need and deserve the privacy, dignity and safety of single-sex spaces."

We are an elite minority and very few care what happens to us as long as we don't contaminate the rest of the human genome. Well guess what! What we are isn't catching it's built in at birth.

Remember,
LGB may include TerFs who want acceptance while denying any to us. We are no threat to cisgendered women, many of us are many years post op, so in what way are we threatening. History has shown we receive more violence than we offer and are thus more vulnerable than cisgender women. I think this is still a rightwing accusation through the media which nonsensical and which spread from the US. I am beginning to think the Republicans are the the American form of the Nazi party, pointing fingers and persecuting minorities.

To be fair, that comment is
To be fair, that comment is gold... "A tiny minority."
So.. all this fuss for a 'TINY MINORITY' it kinda traps them for the fuss they're making.

With Denial One May Ignore What Doesn't Fit
They refused to listen to the over sixty years of medical research and science. They said intersex didn't factor in. I don't know how many of the other boy-girl gender blender research was presented but they rejected it all. Being more intelligent than God, they set themselves up as the ultimate authority based on their on ideology humans come in only two distinctive gender, perfect male and female. Thus by this decree basically they declared there could not be any birth defects only perfect humans.
The totally absurdity of this closed mind set boggles the mind. The very people who are supposed to weigh "all" data, all circumstances, all pros and cons going into the future from their judgement. If this is the cream of the crop of human intelligence...,, God any chance of getting a lift off this Big Blue Marble hurling though space?
Hugs Kit, get out the popcorn. I believe this is going to be a really long nightmare.

Doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, contractors, virtually every single trade, farmers, moms, dads, saving lives, changing lives, transgender was there, making lives better for many. Ladies, gentlemen, for such a small minority we made lives better for all those around us.
