Yesterday, For Women Scotland won a momentous victory at the UK's Supreme Court, where it was clarified that 'sex' within the Equality Act refers to biological sex. We discuss why men are so psychosexually unhinged about the outcome, as seen by the dismay and disbelief at a victory secured by middle-aged women, their subsequent crashing out online, and the fermenting of conspiracy theories relating the Gender Critical movement to the American evangelical rightwing because they cannot believe middle-aged women can win political vindications. How the court victory is retrospective justice for trans widows and every woman forced to call her perpetrator 'she' in court. And how all the man-crying about this win shows how transgenderism was almost entirely about reversing the gains of second-wave feminism. Plus, middle-aged women's unparraelled organising skills, JK Rowling as a benefactor for women’s rights, and how GC women will go down in history as political dissidents who won.
