The U.S. Supreme Court upheld West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act — a law banning transgender girls and women from competing in female sports categories in public schools and universities. The 6-3 ruling found that biological sex could be used as the basis for sports categorisation without violating the Equal Protection Clause. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, in a forceful dissent joined by Justices Sotomayor and Kagan, wrote that the majority had endorsed a constitutional framework that treats trans women as categorically different from other women — not on the basis of athletic performance data, but on identity alone.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…yes? Because they are? Categorically different is exactly what they are? Thank you for putting it so clearly. Too bad you don’t understand your own words.
Of course trans women are categorically different from women, on account of how trans women are men. You can’t be a trans woman without being a man. And yes of course on the basis of identity alone, because that’s what the claim is – a delusional or manipulative claim to have the identity of a woman despite in fact being a man.
The ruling creates a constitutional framework in which states may distinguish between trans and non-trans women in contexts where the distinction can be framed as serving a governmental interest.
Well thank fucking fuck for that. States need to distinguish between trans women and women, and we all need states to do so. The fact that men who claim to be women don’t like it is just too god damn bad. Stand up for women why don’t you.
