Pushback Begins: Campaigners Demand Action to Keep Single-Sex Spaces Real

Finally, Some Sense: Women’s Rights Group Gives Scottish Government 14 Days to Uphold the Law

Well, it’s about time. After years of watching common sense get steamrolled by political correctness and the ever-expanding alphabet of identity politics, a women’s rights group — Sex Matters — is putting its foot down. They’ve given the Scottish government 14 days to comply with the UK Supreme Court’s ruling that, yes, “biological sex” still means something.

In a world where apparently anyone can declare themselves anything and expect society to rearrange itself accordingly, this ruling is a breath of fresh air. It confirms what most of us already knew but weren’t allowed to say: being a woman isn’t a matter of opinion or paperwork. It’s biology.

Maya Forstater, head of Sex Matters, has called for immediate action — single-sex toilets and changing rooms that are just that: single-sex. As in, women for women, men for men. Not complicated. Not hateful. Just how it’s been since, oh, forever.

Of course, the Scottish government says it accepts the court’s judgment (how generous), but they're still dragging their feet and waiting on more “guidance” from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Translation: more dithering while activists behind the scenes try to water everything down.

This all comes after a landmark Supreme Court case where campaigners rightly challenged the idea that someone with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) should automatically be treated the same as a biological woman in all legal contexts. The Court agreed: facts don’t change just because you fill out a form.

Naturally, the woke brigade wasn’t pleased. They call it “exclusion.” They say it’s making trans people’s lives “unliveable.” But what about women’s privacy? What about their dignity in places like changing rooms and hospital wards? Since when did basic boundaries become controversial?

Sex Matters isn’t asking for anything extreme. They’re asking the government to enforce existing law. They’re asking public bodies to follow the ruling — not reinterpret it through some activist lens. No more men in women’s toilets. No more bending over backwards to appease loud lobbyists with Twitter followings and no grip on reality.

And yes, I said men. Because no matter how “inclusive” we try to sound, if someone’s born male and still has a male body, they don’t belong in women’s spaces. That’s not bigotry — it’s biology. And frankly, most ordinary people — even if they're afraid to say it aloud — agree.

Still, officials like Shirley-Anne Somerville say the government is “doing the work” and reviewing policies. We’ve heard it before. It usually means they’re looking for ways to wriggle out of doing the obvious thing because they’re terrified of offending the mob.

Meanwhile, people like Nicola Sturgeon are hand-wringing about the lives of trans people becoming “unliveable.” With all due respect, maybe if trans activists spent less time demanding access to women’s changing rooms and more time engaging in real conversations, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

In the end, this is about something bigger than toilets. It’s about whether reality still matters. Whether governments still have the backbone to say, “No — you can’t just redefine fundamental truths to suit your feelings.” If we can’t draw the line here, where do we draw it?

So yes — 14 days. Let’s see if the Scottish government is going to uphold the rule of law or keep bowing to fringe ideology. Enough is enough. Let women have their spaces back. Let truth have a seat at the table again. And let’s stop pretending biology is offensive.
