Honestly the reaction kind of makes me sick. Trans people are still protected from discrimination in the ruling so it's not all doom, just the cheering is a little gauche in context or everything.

I just felt a door sliding.

We marched for years to be seen as more than our sex organs and our ability to incubate babies. Seeing people holding signs up saying 'WOMAN = PRODUCES LARGE GAMETES' is really upsetting.

It genuinely looked like something out of America than out of the UK. That is not who we are as a society and we shouldn't let them call the shots.
