| Hi Steve, Thanks for the discussion, it’s made me think far more about the issues than I ever had before. I feel fortunate that I’m not directly affected by any consequences of the supreme court ruling. My take aways from the discussion are that according to the supreme court ruling, for the purposed of the equality act a woman is considered to be a biological woman, and therefore a trans-woman, (who would have been recorded as being male on their birth certificate), has no legal right to access female only spaces. The “biological sex” of someone who was born intersex, can’t be determined with any certainty at birth, so for someone who is intersex, what’s written on their birth certificate is irrelevant as to their “biological sex” . One then goes down the rabbit hole of requiring expert opinion, but, as you yourself wrote “Science isn’t an exact science which is why we rely on the Courts.” But it’s the courts that are (presumably) referring us back to the scientists in cases where people are Intersex. Someone’s chromosomes that are a extremely good indication of the sex of someone at birth, but seemingly the whole thing about being intersex is that it’s not as black and white as some people would believe it is. I don't think it's easy! |
