Nobody who voted for Labour wanted this stupid, pointlessly cruel right-wing shit.

If they didn't like it when they heard the judgement, the government could have decided to change the law. They can't say "it was the Supreme Court, our hands are tied"; they're the government, and they have a majority. There was nothing in the King's Speech, so they have chosen to keep it as it is. This is the government's transphobia, not the Supreme Court's.
As well as the obviously horrible implications for trans people, the other predictable outcome of this is that cis women who don't look feminine/conforming enough will face shaming and violence from people who will see it as their right to enforce this ban.
So in a quest to ban something that has never caused an actual problem they just create a new one.
Women who have transitioned into becoming a man will now be forced to explain to everyone that they are biologically a woman when entering a toilet, and for me there is now a chance that the next time I'm stood at a urinal my neighbour will be a woman with a bigger knob than mine.
Meanwhile, actual sex offenders will continue to not be stopped from committing offences in toilets and changing rooms because of a little sign on the door
and for me there is now a chance that the next time I'm stood at a urinal my neighbour will be a woman with a bigger knob than mine.
now there's a way to attack this
"Eh wot? Ya expect me to go in the loo and see a wimmen with a bigger knob than mine?? Woke has gon' too far!"
It's actually even worse than that, as women could now legally complain to the owner that there is a man in the toilets and they are unsafe. In thiscase it would be discriminatory to NOT kick the trans man out of the women's toilets.
This leaves trans people with nowhere to go, which the authors of the guidance have acknowledged. So they have left the option for the owner to permit trans people to use the disabled toilets....
Which is a win win if you don't give a shit about disabled people OR trans people.
Rather than spend energy punching down trans people with this crap Labour could have acted swiftly to remove the ambiguity in the law. But they chose not to.
Why do you keep voting Labour when all your getting is Tories / Reform lite?
i cant emphasize enough how badly i want labour to get destroyed at the election.
