A UK court has made a decision defining genders which has put it at odds with a less noticed, more important, decision from the CJEU. This is the Gist.
“The Empire is drawing borders inside our heads now.”
“To step outside of those borders is to reject Empire’s natural order. Being a gay man was always a threat to Imperial power- punishable by violence and possibly death- because it was a breach of those borders.”
“Asking why British institutions are Like That when it comes to their responses to trans people is to forget the Imperial soil those institutions’ roots have grown from.”
This is a really insightful and well written piece.
