Trans Women ARE Men!

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has brought a much
needed return of sanity with an unambiguous ruling that sex is binary,
that trans women are men, something that has always been true in
fact, and following this ruling, we now have legal clarity bringing the
law into line with biological reality.
A brief summary of the case:

For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers
On Wednesday April 16, 2025, The Supreme Court of the United
Kingdom delivered a landmark ruling. The three Judges ruled
unanimously determining that the terms “woman,” “man,” and “sex”
in the Equality Act 2010 refer to biological sex, not gender identity.
This decision clarifies that transgender women, even those holding a
Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC), are not legally recognized as
women under this Act. The legal challenge was brought by the
feminist group For Women Scotland against the Scottish
Government’s guidance on the Gender Representation on Public
Boards (Scotland) Act 2018. The guidance included transgender
women with GRCs in the 50% female representation target for public
boards. For Women Scotland contended that this inclusion conflated
gender identity with biological sex, undermining the Act’s intention to
address sex based discrimination. The Court found that interpreting
“woman” to include individuals based on gender identity would
render the Equality Act incoherent and impracticable. It emphasized
that the Act’s provisions are designed to protect individuals based on
biological sex, and extending these definitions to include gender
identity could compromise the Act’s effectiveness. However, the
Court also reaffirmed that transgender individuals remain protected
under the Act’s provisions against discrimination based on gender
reassignment.
This ruling has significant implications for the application of the
Equality Act across the UK. In a major victory for gender critical
feminist campaigners, the decision confirms that single sex spaces are
protected by law. Trans women, now classified by biological sex
rather than gender identity, will be excluded from female only spaces
such as women’s prisons, toilets, changing rooms, refuge hostels, and
competitive sports, in line with clarified legal definitions. Common
sense has prevailed: women’s sex based rights have been upheld.
That a group of women had to take their case all the way to the
Supreme Court to defend these longstanding rights is a damning
indictment of the malign influence of liberal identity politics in Britain.
The struggles of women to protect their sex based rights are
exemplified by the case of the Darlington Nurses.

The Darlington Nurses
The case of the Darlington Nurses (1) concerns a dispute at Darlington
Memorial Hospital that has been ongoing for approximately 18
months. A group of nurses raised a number of concerns with their
employer, the County Durham and Darlington NHS Trust, regarding
the use of the nurses’ changing room by a colleague, Rose Henderson,
a transgender woman and biological male. Complaints made by the
nurses were dismissed by hospital management. Due to the fact that
many nurses at the hospital are on overseas work visas, only eight felt
able to formally raise the issue, while others feared potential
repercussions for their immigration status and employment. When replying to the complaint, management response was to state that
the nurses needed to be “re-educated.” The group subsequently filed
a claim with an Employment Tribunal, citing sexual harassment,
discrimination, victimisation, and breaches of the right to a private life
under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. A
particularly appalling aspect of the case has been the position taken
by the nurses’ trade union, Unison. The union declined to support the
nurses and instead backed Henderson’s right to access the changing
facilities. It would be difficult not to regard this stance as an example
of gross misogyny and a betrayal of union solidarity. In response, the eight nurses resigned from Unison and founded the Darlington Nurses
Union. This should serve as a warning to established trade unions, that they risk haemorrhaging many more women members if they continue to defend misogynistic gender ideology.

                                               (2)  Identity politics, when used in the context of gender identity, is predicated on self identity, this is not only incoherent philosophical
idealism; it is the ultimate expression of hyper individualism, and has
reached a point of logical absurdity with trans ideology. As a liberal
ideology heavily influenced by postmodernism, it is sceptical of the
very possibility of objective truth. This scepticism leads to the claim
that fundamental aspects of human identity, such as sex and gender,
are not materially grounded but are instead socially constructed.
From this arises the pure idealism of: I think I am X; therefore I am X.
This is a direct contradiction of material reality. What we are
witnessing is the capture and exploitation of a mental health
condition, gender dysphoria, reducing it to a degenerate cargo cult
that has paved the way for child grooming, the unethical
administration of puberty blockers, and a misogynistic assault on
women’s sex based rights. The belief that there are more than two
sexes, or more than two genders, is pure delusion, one that has been systematically planted into the minds of vulnerable individuals, as well
as opportunists who see political and financial gain in promoting
identity politics based on this deliberate disregarding of material
reality. Wokeism, and its malignant offshoot trans ideology, form a
reactionary roadblock to class unity that must be debunked and
consigned to the dustbin of history. Identity politics fractures society
into competing victimhood’s, and it’s traumatised mindset promotes a narrative obsessed with
the purely personal, manifesting in language policing, political
correctness, pronoun vigilantes, moral virtue signalling, and cancel
culture, in what could plausibly be described as an “oppression
Olympics.” The ruling class has been relentlessly promoting this anti collectivist
ideology precisely because it serves to divide, distract, and ultimately
defend imperialist interests.

Trans derangement syndrome

In response to the Supreme Court decision, wokes, liberals and the
rainbow flag waving tendency, not forgetting leading figures in the
Green Party, have erupted into comical media outbursts and protests
across many British cities, revealing, once again, their misogyny and
deep hostility to material reality, so it can surprise nobody that during
a protest in central London on Easter Saturday that the statue of
suffragette Millicent Fawcett was defaced.
The ruling class are the main beneficiaries of the pro/anti-trans
division within the straightjacket of imperialist politics. Identity
politics, deliberately promoted from above, a ruling class strategy to
deflect, divide, and disarm which serves to confuse and fragment the
working class. Questions such as “what defines a woman, sex or
gender?” are deliberately muddied, shifting the political terrain away
from class struggle onto the battleground of culture and identity. This
is classic divide and rule, a conscious tactic to undermine class unity.
By stoking cultural divisions, the ruling class seeks to thwart the
possibility of a united working class movement organising to fight
imperialism. Woke issues, including the trans rights discourse, have
been commodified, creating new markets and profitable niches.
Gender identity has become big business: pharmaceutical giants reap
massive profits from hormone treatments; private health clinics
flourish; and Pride marches have been captured by corporate
sponsorship, turning struggles for “liberation” into spectacles of
consumerism. Universities, NGOs, and corporations aggressively
promote trans-affirming policies, not out of solidarity, but to burnish
their progressive credentials while aiding and preserving the capitalist
system. These efforts have been aided by government legislation such
as the 2004 Gender Recognition Act which laid the legal groundwork
for self identity to be conflated with material reality. Capital has to
find new avenues for accumulation and the commodification of
gender identity is part of this process. Meanwhile, working class
conditions deteriorate. Wages stagnate, living costs rise, imperialist
wars continue, yet media and political focus has been carefully
steered toward culture wars, not class struggle.

From the perspective of class struggle the Supreme Court judgement
must be seen as a positive development, as the issues surrounding
the trans ideology now have legal clarity, the idealist nonsense of
individuals self identifying their sex has been rejected. A politics that
fragments the working class is not a threat to capital, but is a gift to it.
Only the working class, united in struggle, can tear down a system
that thrives on our division. It seems likely that ruling class, having
achieved all it can from identity politics and will quietly drop it and
move on, no doubt to another contrived and divisive issue. As
communists we must get our message to the masses, highlighting the
primary contradictions inherent in moribund late stage capitalism.
Our task is to cut through the ideological fog and unite the working
class across all identities, on the basis of their shared material
interests, and endeavour to finally throw off the yoke of decaying
parasitic Anglo-American imperialism.
