Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

[drugsorgasmsandcheese]

my womanhood has never been threatened by a trans woman. i have never felt threatened by the existence of trans people. i am disgusted and repulsed by the actions of the uk supreme court. trans rights are human rights.

"I don't like JRK but I still love Harry Potter"

You have blood on your hands

Burn your fucking Harry Potter merch or be burned with it.

I'm fucking livid.

[ethan-elliott]

The fucking audacity of the judge to say that ruling the definition of woman is based purely on biological sex “is not a triumph of one side over another.”

As if this hasn’t just fucking decimated trans rights in the UK, made transphobia practically law and blatantly supporting the work of groups like the LGB Alliance.

How fucking dare they.

hey! donate to uk trans charities today because it’s gonna be a rough one

[isabela-merceds]

trans women, i love you.

you were a woman yesterday. you're a woman today. you're a woman tomorrow. you're a woman forever.

trans women have existed long before those stuffy bigots sitting in a court room have. trans women will continue to exist long after they're dead and rotting in the earth.

We have to get our tourism cash.

Once reigning hotdog eating competition champ “glizzie lizzie” died people haven’t been wanting to come on down to the United Kingdom of Britain.

english people know what stonehenge was for. they just wont tell us so that we have to come to their wet little country

[elfie-baggins]

This is going to stop trans rights, and the forward momentum of queer equality, by several decades.

(update: new article link)

[unprescribedjourneys]

British cis guy here. Just to be clear, the UK transphobes haven't won, because I didn't wake up transphobic this morning and nor did any of my friends.

We're still with you. We'll figure this out. Hang in there.

[phoen1xr0se]

Fuck what a piece of paper says, trans women are women, always have been and they always will be.

Also fuck jkr

And whilst I’m here, fuck Trump too

I’m so fucking done today

[gl1tter-cloudz]

Praying this turns on those TERFs in the UK rn 🙏

UK supreme court has ruled in law that trans women are not to be considered women

"The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate." - Jess O'Thompson

Trans women are no longer protected under sex based protections against discrimination

GRCs are now functionally harmful

A post op trans woman with a GRC is now banned from "women only spaces" like a women's toilet.

I'm gonna build a bomb

[maladapted-druid]

At 1000 on Thursday 16/04 the UK Supreme Court ruled that the Equality Act 2010 uses the terms 'woman' and 'sex' to refer to "biological" women and "biological" sex, excluding trans people. The judges claim that this is not " triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another" however it is hard to see this as anything other than excluding transgender people from legal protections in the equality act, opening the way for legal discrimination of transgender and gender non-conforming people.

Transgender people have always existed and always will. Nothing will change that.

JKR is once again attacking a woman of colour

[florallychaotic]

Instead of focusing on a TERF who we've known about for at least 8 years and giving her more fucking attention, we should focus on learning about and supporting groups like TransActual, a trans/NB run organization in the UK supporting and fighting for the rights of trans and NB people (tumblr straight up won't embed the link, suspicious)

https://transactual.org.uk/who-are-transactual-uk/

Im a usamerican and it took me literally googling "how to help trans women UK" to find them. The people on tumblr in 2025 aren't going to stop engaging with jkr no matter what you say, please put your effort elsewhere

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
