Peta Credlin: Commonsense as UK court declares ‘woman’ means ‘biological female’

Voters should demand of their leaders that no man should be able to invade women’s sport and women’s facilities simply by self-identifying as a woman, writes Peta Credlin.

Defining a woman was never hard until cultural Marxists infiltrated officialdom to perpetrate the nonsense that men can become women even though their chromosomes haven’t changed.

Now, finally, there’s been a return to commonsense with the UK Supreme Court last week rejecting this modern madness that a man can be a woman merely on the strength of a certificate that he is.

In a unanimous decision, all five judges of Britain’s top court declared that, at law, “woman” means “a biological female”.

The court struck down a Scottish law providing that trans women were “women” for the purposes of complying with gender equality on boards. To allow biological men to be women for the purposes of the British Equality Act would, said the judges, make the law “incoherent”.

This should mean an end to terms like “chest feeding” rather than breastfeeding, “person with a cervix” instead of woman, or “birth individual” instead of mother, terms that render us all diminished as women.

This is something I have been railing against for years, long before many others were prepared to call out the activists, not all of whom were on the left. Like the now disgraced and removed Liberal Party leadership in Victoria that expelled Moira Deeming for the “crime” of attending a rally to defend the rights of women and girls.

Deeming has now been vindicated, not just by her successful defamation action; but via her appointment, last week, as new Liberal leader Brad Battin’s special representative for western Melbourne.

Victoria and Queensland have similar laws to the one now overturned in Britain. Enough is enough. Voters should demand of their leaders that no man should be able to invade women’s sport and women’s facilities simply by self-identifying as a woman.
