What is a woman?

Supreme Court hearing case on definition of a woman
The case started on Tuesday, with judges hearing from lawyers acting on behalf of the For Women Scotland campaign group, which is concerned about the potential impact of trans rights on women's rights. The Scottish government's legal representatives will address the court on Wednesday, before the judges retire to consider their ruling - which could take several weeks. At the most basic level, the case centres on what “sex” actually means in law.

I'm guessing a few people were refraining from commenting on that after the understanding that was achieved on the gender thread.

The full accounts of the proceedings are here if anybody wants to follow the arguments in full day by day. The general topic has already been discussed ad infinitum in previous threads.

...the understanding that was achieved on the gender thread.

Could you tl;dr that, por favor?

It over 1000 pages long.
Mainly going in circles, with no real consensus.

Whatever the Supreme count decides, someone will be pissed off. It’s impossible to square the circle.

Personally I think a lot more people need to be pissed off.

I'd rather be pissed off than pissed on.

I think Spaced were parodying Leigh Bowery doing that sort of stuff about 25 years ago.
