I know it's a hot topic in both the real world, and online, but I suspect not a huge shock to those learned individuals. I doubt the Scottish Government will be appealing, I suspect Swinney keen to put it behind the SNP. A sad day for trans women. I'm sure they, and their allies, will campaign on to try to persuade the UK government to amend the various acts next.

Edit: locking this post to stop fly-bys. As a mod I don't want to see the discourse descend further than what has already been posted

I suspect no penis is what they will be going with, but it isn't very clear to me either

Their ruling does the opposite of clearing up the matter. It just invites further questions. Which means further legal cases. That's on top of this ruling being plain cruel.

If lack of peen makes you a woman then there are plenty of conditions that can cause this. By accident or by birth.

It's an infuriating ruling on many levels.
