I went through the ruling in some detail with a lawyer, and I don't understand that it even means that. Bathroom facilities are largely impacted by health and safety regulation, not by Equalities legislation. The onus on businesses is to provide safe facilities, not to segregate for the sake of it.

The Court doesn't define biological sex, so your sex is now whatever you thought it might have been at birth.

Women are not, and have never been, defined by biology, except by those that try to oppress them.

A meme showing a toddler with dirt on his face with the caption "Today's 3 year olds can switch on laptops and open their favorite apps. Me? When I was 3, the only 'lap top' I had was a Lenovo ThinkPad"

The joke is that "Lenovo ThinkPad" is replacing a more obvious answer, like "dirt" or "Acorn BBC Model 3".

A die photo of the Pentium processor with the main functional blocks labeled including the caches, instruction fetch and decode, integer execution, and floating point. The image consists of complex patterns of rectangular regions in reddish and brownish colors. The image zooms in on a small part of the floating point unit giving a detail of an adder and PLA circuit.

Intel launched the Pentium processor in 1993. Unfortunately, dividing sometimes gave a slightly wrong answer, the famous FDIV bug. Replacing the faulty chips cost Intel $475 million. I reverse-engineered the circuitry and can explain the bug. 1/9

This is a meme depicting two people at a record score. The meme often depicts them superficially "connecting" over something, but thinking about very different things.

In this version, they are both thinking about the Ship of Theseus. This refers to an ancient Greek proverb, where the Ship of Theseus has had every part of it replaced, but is still the Ship of Theseus. Or is it?

Oh! Is that why they were throwing teabags into rivers in the 2000s? It never occurred to me, that perhaps they simply didn't have time to boil a kettle.

I had the same experience, although in my case, the pediatrician was careful to add that I didn't "need" them, and they wouldn't make me healthier. I'm very grateful for that. A lot of trans, non-binary, and intersex kids haven't had that wisdom.

A diagram from an old textbook, noting medical achievements that made the average lifespan longer. It illustrates this with a series of suited white men, some of whom are taller than others. The taller men on the right are meant to indicate long life. However, this is a very odd depiction, given that taller people are not necessarily long lived, even if they are white and wear a suit.

In The Old Days, we died younger and were much shorter. Nevertheless, the white men dutifully wore a suit and tie. Even in ancient Rome.
