Saturday, April 26th, 2025: Son Vivienne Trans Gender Victoria-UK High Court Trans Gender Ruling.

Kenny and Macca are joined live on air by Son Vivienne Trans Gender Victoria.

Son picks  up on the recent ruling in UK High Court which we also discussed a bit last week with Anna Brown from Equality  Australia  after the Forum broadcast. The implications are less clear and unfolding daily.

In a blow for transgender people, the UK’s highest court has said that a woman is defined by her sex at birth.

JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series and a prominent anti-trans activist, has said the ruling was due to “an army” of female campaigners and had protected the “rights of women and girls”.

But Britain’s Supreme Court stressed laws preventing discrimination against people who were trans remained in place.

Judge Lord Hodge said it was “not a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another”, while Downing Street said the ruling brought “clarity”.

An LGBTI campaign group, however, condemned the outcome, describing it as an “incredibly worrying” development for transgender people and a “huge blow to some of the most marginalised people in our society”.
