Sex being immutable is not an uncommon belief.
Parliament has given the means for people to change the record of their sex, thus proving that 'sex' is not immutable because its definition is not restricted to biology. There are no references to women's rights due to biological sex in the EqA, neither 'hard won' as you used to say or otherwise. You did concede the point at one point in time, but quickly reverted to type and started talking crap again.
Nowhere in law, are sex-based rights defined as pertaining to biology. To be fair, in the past, the state did confuse sex and gender by treating them as one and the same; this continues, but to a lesser extent. I have no objection to asking the state and the law to be consistent to remove this conflation/confusion, but it must obviously do so in the context of Acts of Parliament that it has previously made. None of this is my fault, even though you love to attack me as if it is.
Just because a belief is common or shared between a group of people, it doesn't make it true or morally correct. Is it 'right' in any sense for the people of one religion or another to commit genocide of another group because it is their shared or 'common' belief?
If we are to live in peace, then we have to build a peaceful world. That requires acceptance of the others by all of us. You can't slice or dice equality. You can't cherry-pick from it. Either we are all equal in rights or we are not. Trans people are asking for inclusion; you are demanding their exclusion. Which group has the ideology - clearly the GC brigade with an ideology to be intolerant of difference.
In my opinion Judge Taylor was quite correct to say (and to paraphrase rather than look up his exact words) not a belief worthy of merit in a democratic society. There are a number of tests of whether true democracy is met, and one of those is the rights of the minority vote continue to be respected following an election. This is essential to nation building. The reason the country has become so shitty is that we have a government that recruited the intolerant to their cause to fulfill their political ambition. They recruited their useful idiots using three word slogans and false promises to help them in the Brexit campaign by the use of lies, false dichotomies and other linguistic devices. This began the process of breaking society.
The use of these wedge devices continues with use of an invented war on trans people. You are one of the useful idiots recruited from the left to support the bigotry of the evangelical Christian groups on the right. Never before have feminists thought it was OK to campaign against the children of other women due to difference. But here you are. What happened to that common belief?
You've now got to the point that to defend your intolerance that you say to women, 'you are not who you think you are', but support those male-dominated groups who proclaim 'women are who we permit them to be - ie baby bakers'. Then collectively you look up to men who champion this cause and cheer when they tell other women who actually know their rights to 'go fark themselves' when they won't agree.
You've lost the plot.
