I am a trans-woman and chartered mechanical engineer who works for a major defence contractor in the UK.
After 2 decades of not being active in the community, I am now very active in the fight for trans rights. 🖕 to the UKSC and the EHRC.

Maybe she has a chauffeur and doesn’t drive on a motorway. Anyone doing 70 is the exception rather than the rule. Speed limits devised for the era of the Hillman Imp etc.
When rules don’t make sense, they get ignored.

“I took an oath infront of a justice to live the rest of my life as the person I identify as.”
Exactly, a solemn oath which will be on file. I like you am abiding by my oath. Just a little more nervously these days.

Thanks for all the supportive comments on here. They do mean a lot to us.
I never have problems with ordinary people, they leave me alone, smile say after you or thanks.
The big fear is when interacting with anything to do with a state which is so hostile, or anyone with peaked cap syndrome. 💙🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️

She’s wrong all right. But given her former position and what is happening in various organisations, she’s probably not alone. So if the interpretation is wrong and the results are as they are, effectively our GRC are worthless and the 2004 GRA is dead. We are back in the intermediate zone.

If you see my follow-up post You will see where I am going with this. I’m asking about interpretation now.

It would be good to get the opinion of some of our legal eagles on here like @jessothomson.co.uk, @reactiveashley.bsky.social etc. Because if that is the case and how the law is being interpreted, it may have bearing on the motion brought by @tacc.org.uk & @transexilenetwork.co.uk at @coe.int. 🏳️⚧️

In Labour’s 2025, The Equalities & Human Rights Commission enforces discrimination and the removal of basic human rights.

So… Just like us trans people, she availed herself of medical advances in order to live. Why didn’t she accept her fate like a good biological❓
Her being alive is just as “artificial” as we are‼️

So, as a trans-person, availing yourself of medical advances to change your sex invalidates you as a “genuine” or “biological” human...
Funny how this applies to no other condition...
By this logic, people with pacemakers or insulin pumps for example, should accept their fates & die… etc…

I had a couple of religious nuts on the doorstep over summer. Started discussing God and how she “didn’t trust science“ after I told them I put my faith in science and reason.
While she had a pair of glasses on her nose and a smartphone in her pocket dressed in artificial fibers from head to toe 🙄
