You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter.
What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

✨From the archives: St Mary’s, Breamore in Hampshire, is one of the most complete late Anglo-Saxon churches we have — a building that’s held its ground for over a millennium. Here I photographed it with the Elizabethan Breamore House behind it, two eras folded into one view.

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

#StarTrek episodes you’ve watched more than 6 times with a GIF.
I can be confident with this one because they were probably going to ban me at the VHS rental place if I took it out any more often.

The kind of judgement the media could easily trumpet as "TRANS WOMEN ARE NOT PREVENTED FROM USING WOMEN'S SPACES, COURT RULES."
But instead they lead with the complainant (regarded by the Tribunal as an unreliable witness) winning some procedural issues against her employer.

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case.
She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

Incidentally, that opener... freighter communicating on audio with control while another ship heads inexorably towards it... that's a Star Cops opening, isn't it? That whole "get out of the way! Too LATE!" bit is asking for a slow fade to Moonbase and Nathan incredulously going "COMPUTER FAULT?"
