Legal clarity at last, at least in the UK for the time being. No doubt this leaves quite a lot of tidying of law and regulations for the devolved administrations to do. What strikes me is that there may still be issues at the international level, if different countries end up with different legal definitions of what a woman is.

This court action seems to have originated in Scotland, where I'd guess that men wearing skirts have confused a number of people.
One has to be careful not to offend I'm offended at the very debate of this subject I find it offensive males identify as females especially in sport We have lost our way
Thank Goodness some of our sensisble and still senile judges have made a good call .
Your DNA and medical history shows you were born of that gender , accept it as it is .
Public wailing and grief follows the decision made , what I want to use a toilet as I am classed as gender neutral , neither male or female , I have my rights as a human too .
Disabled toilets are a go to option if uncomfortabe for many users but no problem if you want not to rock the boat and no big deal.
Mental health and other reasons will soon hit the headlines .

I had the same thought as many businesses or agencies already have this 3rd loo. No doubt the usual suspects will have some kind of objection. How to label?

It always winds me up when these activists use the phrase âthe gender you were assigned at birthâ as if the heavily trained medical professionals, the midwives, the doctors, the nurses who probably have a century of medical training and experience behind them just hold up their fingers and arbitrarily decide âitâs a boyâ.

But why are we doing this Why is mankind trying to overturn basic physiology We are looking to change what can't be changed

If you paint stripes on a lion it doesnât become a tiger.
I think in this society if people want to pretend to be something else because it makes them happier and more comfortable in their skin then fair enough treat them with respect but it doesnât change basic biological facts. And there has to be a basic legal definition so we donât end up in farcical and obviously unacceptable situations where male rapists are locked up with women.

Because they don't want a third option. They want to invade women's spaces. Women's sports. Women's services.
I don't doubt there are many harmless, genuine, peaceful trans-women who pose no threat and just want to get on with their lives. Unfortunately their cause has been hijacked by your professional protesters, and altogether too many pink haired, stubble sporting "women" who are basically just men with a fetish.
To their shame Goverments and media have allowed these people to dictate the narrative for too long. It's bonkers that it needed a Supreme Court ruling to state the bleeding obvious.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Great post.
This judgement will protect women and their rights in a variety of different ways but as you said, weâre talking about the behaviour of a tiny minority making it difficult for all.
The debate has become poisonous for all sides, including the vast majority of trans people who just want to get on with their lives. Ask the females in your life how many times theyâve been made to feel uncomfortable by a trans woman, then ask the same question about straight men.
As I said, this judgment is important and I hope itâll take some of the heat out of the discussion in time.
Hopefully itâll pan out like years ago when people linked homosexuality to paedophillia. Most have grown out of thinking like that now and I hope this will be the same with those trans people who are just wrestling with themselves and not trying to change reality for others.

Toilet arrangements seem to be a tricky issue. Trans people should be allowed access to Disabled tiolets.This will seem discrimination in sense of perception but hopefully the Trans people will be pragmatic enough to recognise toilets for trans people is not practical.

Why should disabled have to share their abultions with some freakshow , if someone believes their the opposite to their birthday sex fine but gio the whole hog and do the job properly then use the appropriate toilet .

I can't think of a greater insult to the disabled And freaks are what they are Abnormal Perverse
It's what folk are afraid of saying
I can imagine me ol mum being in a public toilet when one of these walks on

These are almost always individual toilets and not shared . Men and women's toilets are communal. Individual toilet arrangements would seem better to me. Trans toilets are not really wanted by anyone so disabled toilets are the most practical solution .
With trans women born men they will presumably be banned from Women toilets and have to hot the men toilets dressed as a woman. Women dressed as men as presenting themselves as men can go to men's toilets I suppose with our going into details.
What do people on here put forward as solutions. It is tricky

Excellent post and points made by Dr Winston too.
Gender is a hugely complex issue for some. I don't pretend to understand it.
I genuinely believe the gender dysphoria is a real issue and ruins people's lives, I have second hand experience of it, including a colleague who has pretty much been driven out of their mid Wales town due to abuse directed at their very young trans son.
As always it's the extremists that cause problems, there's a world of difference between somebody who's body has malfunctioned in some way and somebody switching between sex / gender on a whim. There's very few of the latter except in the Daily Mail.

Thing is, if someone has another sort of body dysphoria and develops anorexia or bulimia because they look in the mirror and genuinely think they are ugly and grotesquely obese even though theyâre only 6 stone we donât actively encourage it or even celebrate it. They get the treatment and care they need.
When it comes to gender and a 6 foot bloke with a massive beard decides heâs a woman we just pump him full of drugs to make his tits grow bigger and lop off his John Thomas almost immediately.

But we don't stigmatise them either.
The actual reassignment process is long and complicated, it needs to be too. For my money it's only after that point they should be considered to be their desired sex. But I don't pretend to understand it completely.
The human body gets things wrong sometimes.

We are told that "trans women" pose no risk, but there are a number of examples of extreme violence when somebody considers blocking their access to something they believe is their right.
