Sex must stay on birth certificates
The Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is one of those places that makes me feel uncomfortable. I feel picked-on even visiting the website. At the top of the screen – before any mention of the collections and exhibitions – we are all told that ‘Bristol Museums welcomes trans and gender-diverse visitors, volunteers and members of staff’.

Deep within the workings of an electric motor lies a split-ring commutator. It reverses the current flowing through the coil every half rotation so that the force on the coil also reverses as it spins between a pair of opposing magnetic poles.

The truth about trans rights in Britain
The Supreme Court judgment on sex and gender was a welcome return to common sense. As far as the Equality Act is concerned, even Keir Starmer now knows that a woman is a biological female and a man is a biological male.
When will Keir Starmer finally show some leadership over the most fundamental distinction in human society: the difference between men and women? The Prime Minister’s silence after the Supreme Court judgement last week* had been deafening. The ruling – which stated that sex is binary – brought clarity and restored sanity; it’s a pity the same could not be said about the PM’s thinking when it comes to defining what a woman is.
Finally, there is legal clarity in the UK: the word “woman” refers to sex, not gender. But contrary to some claims, the rights of trans people are unchanged, secure and affirmed.
Clarté juridique au Royaume-Uni : le mot « femme » renvoie au sexe, non au genre. Mais contrairement à ce qu’on peut entendre, cette décision n’entame en rien les droits des personnes trans.
Thank the Lord for some common sense. In this case, thank Lord Hodge, who yesterday* delivered the UK Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling that trans women are not biologically female.
Extraordinary as it is that such an obvious statement requires an 88-page judgment, compiled over many months by the highest court of appeal in the country, this decision is crucial.
