UK Supreme Court backs legal definition of a woman

Judges at the UK Supreme Court have unanimously ruled that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.
Lord Hodge said the central question was how the words "woman" and "sex" are defined in the legislation.

He told the court: "The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex.

"But we counsel against reading this judgement as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another, it is not."

He added that the legislation gives transgender people "protection, not only against discrimination through the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, but also against direct discrimination, indirect discrimination and harassment in substance in their acquired gender".

Can you translate that English into English for me? Sounds like something @Horace would write! It twists my brain.

[Doctor Phibes]

My humble apologies.

American English version:

'dose gals are only gals if they was boin gals. If they was boin as guyz and had the old bigly snip-snip then they's got da gals gender, but they's not got da gals sex, so they's not da women as far as da' sex goes. Still, youze gotta hire da gals who was once guyz, but dey not got da sex of da guys. Capiche?

Yeah it's like the one thing she does that makes her even hotter. Ok maybe more than one thing she does.

She's gotta have a:
cunt
pussy
box
hole
crack
snatch
fanny
beaver
muff
twat
quim
yoni
minge, or
punani

Either you have one of those or you don't.

All good.

There are doctors/quacks that tell you those can be surgically constructed.

No, that’s an inverted penis. Not the same thing at all.

The pronoun nazis must be reeling right now.

It's about time, finally some common sense.
The prisons may have little to change with their arrangements, but Seb Coe was sounding relieved as he will use it to solve sporting arguments.

Same sex couples are natural throughout nature, but changing sex is not.
I wonder, will toilets change before a voluptuous (fe)male blonde follows me in... or will I instinctively hold the door open for him.

Don't underestimate nature.

I knew a pedantic friend or my sisters would argue that point.
