With regards to the UK judgement (which I haven't studied in any meaningfull way).
Two (okay 3) questions.
What is a #trans man?
What is a #trans woman?
What is the difference?
I ask because I don't know & don't really care. But I'm getting pissed off because I'm expected to know. And, getting really pissed off because I'm expected to care.

If you're #trans & meet somebody like me who appears pissed off about your current state, we aren't.
We just don't want to have to pick a side in a sport we don't care about.
Its the being forced (or rather the feeling of being forced) to give a shite about #trans anything that annoys us.
So, fire away & be #trans. Our apathy is one of your greatest weapons. Use it!!

@IanOB these people were quietly getting some improvement to their lives here and there over the years through hard work, without annoying anyone.
Then a bunch of oddballs and some absolutely shite politicians decided we should all be angry about that.
For the politicians they'd rather we be scared of trans people than notice what a shit job they're doing. Tories and Republicans in particular.
@IanOB we'd hear a lot less about it in Ireland if it wasn't for Normal Island next door to us.
Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael both decided they weren't going to start banging this drum, not from the top anyway.
Probably from a mix of not being that cruel, and a lot of Irish people recognising the connection between anti-trans and anti-gay, anti-contraception, anti-divorce. Largely the same pricks every time. A large part of why I dig in on this stuff.
Someone forgot to tell Sinn Féin though.
@IanOB although if I remember right, even English conservatives who are aren't into trans people having rights are far more worried about not dying in a hospital queue and would like the Tories to shut the fuck up about trans people, and work on things that affect them personally.
