I hate to ask a stupid question but with the ruling being about transwomen and biological women, are transmen and biological male covered under this ruling? I mean to me the ruling would imply that. But I've frequently noticed common sense and court rulings aren't always Venn Diagram

The ruling is saying that although you should keep pretending ''transwomen are women'', the legal benefits and protections for women and girls are based on sex, not gender identity.
There are no special legal protections for men, so they don't care that mentally-ill women try to LARP as men.
Not that it matters if such lunatic tries to get into the open division of a sport, which we usually call the men's division. They won't win, or will be disqualified for using a performance-enhancing drug ( exogenous testosterone ).
Let's see how the UK bends over backwards to avoid following the spirit of this ruling. This ruling should mean no more males in women and girls bathrooms, sex-segregated sports leagues, prisons, etc.
But expect leftists to insist on letting mentally-ill males into women's bathrooms.
I mean they were as soon as this ruling came down.
However the other aspects (sports, prisons, etc) will have to have separate rulings most likely, due to how parliament works from my non-britbonger understanding.
i.e. Parliament doesn't make changes to 'the law' they pass individual things which together are what everyone considers 'the law'. So one part of one act being struck down doesn't inherently cause the others to fall (even though by all rational standards it's the same logic).
This sets precedent. Either the parliament will address it and change the act to recognize the limits imposed by the court (unlikely) or this precedent will be used in other cases to apply this legal reasoning to other similar situations.
Both of those will take years. Probably more than one election cycle.
It is cognitive dissonance at its finest.
functionally, my guess would be no. you see, The moral class of women can be men when they want, but the immoral class of men cannot be women.
I'm kinda convinced that female to male trans make up a large percentage by how many exist to suicide rates given that some feminist that tried being a man for a year got so depressed from the experience she ended up killing herself.
There's no privilege to being a guy especially in a feminist state like the UK, all the gibs are on the women's side.
Anglo culture is so anti male it is bizarre. And it has been since at least the White Feathers.
And yeah, you are correct. I remember a couple years back when it all started and the early strivers were all chicks.
Probably in 10 years when the supreme court has enough women or women of color.. the court will rule in favor of the trannies.
