A woman is officially somebody born a biological female  :clapping

..... well at least in the UK.  :clapping :clapping :clapping

The United Kingdom's Supreme Court has ruled the legal definition of a 'woman' is based on a person's sex at birth.

Five judges unanimously ruled on Wednesday "the terms 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman, and biological sex".
Single-sex spaces and services, including changing rooms, "will function properly only if sex is interpreted as biological sex", the judgment said.


Great news for women!!!.  :clapping :clapping :clapping :clapping

Stuffing diabolical this has to go via supreme court lmao

Yep what an age we live in -that this unhinged crap has gained traction with some so-called "biologists" is truly bizarre - it's like if geologists & astronomers started seriously countenancing flat earth theory. :shh

 Good to see him re-awakening nationalist sentiment across the west.  :clapping

More hating the dumb yanks who are trashing their own country and its reputation than being strictly nationalist. The rest of the western allies don't resort to being a giant sooky manbaby towards each other.

Oh yes William how is the panic?  :lol :lol

Nice attempt to get in early today to control the narrative.

Il repeat again only people who panic are those who watch the daily news (much like Covid) and/or have an average set up which I’m guessing you also do despite your safe as houses. By the way if as you say retirees are affected then they should  have been “safe as houses” also like you.

Fact. The market is down LESS than it was in 2022, under Biden’s dip.
Oddly enough we didn’t  hear from you then.

Lastly, I do care which is why I mentioned looking for opportunities, but you choose to follow the Stefanovic rabbit hole news. :shh

Let us know what 60 mins tells us tonight please.

bit quiet on this topic now.  :lol :lol

Hhmm no that's because  I already knew what the result would be,

Please feel free to find a post where I predicted a different result.

Now back to this topic how are you feeling about things now?  :lol :lol

Lets face it, basically nothing really changes ever.

All my own immediate problems are still the same after both elections as they were beforehand, and they'll still be the same problems in 3-6 months at least.

My main concern at an Aus level is the new superannuation tax not being indexed, thinking of my kids. Hopefully someone fixes that BS before long.

Surprised no discussion about Trump taking it upon himself to “run” Venezuela

Would love to know people’s thoughts

Living in a third world country, I think it sets a horrible precedent

The place is a poo show and if we've learned one thing from watching America invade places, it would surely be that they rarely make the place any better or safer.

Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq all day g'day.

Nothing this bloles does should surprise. And some reckon he's a great President and when the rot started with his tarrifs, said nothing to see here. The man is dictator, a despot solely because his party are letting him do what he pleases

IMHO Venzuela is only the start. I'm nervous for Greenland.... he wants that land

And the irony of Putin and Xi saying what Trump's done is wrong and illegal  ::)

What’s stopping China taking over any country they feel they have the right to “run”?

Donald has set the rules , and they aren’t good

Exactly

But my point was Putin has already invaded in an attempt to take pver Ukraime

China has been eyeing off taking over Taiwan for years.

For the Putin and Xi to comdem what the USA has done is hyprocrisy of the highest order

But the actions of the USA as you rightly say has given China the greelight to take Taiwan and by extension condones what Putin has done in Ukraine
