It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they’ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK. @ForWomenScot, I’m so proud to know you 🏴💜🏴💚🏴🤍🏴 https://t.co/JEvcScVVGS

The trans community long ago dismissively labeled JK Rowling as a TERF, a trans-exclusive radical feminist, the scarlet letters meant to show that Rowling is Not One of Them, but really just another way of saying the left eats its own. I don't agree with Rowling, still a self-avowed leftie, on very much, but I respect her brave stance in defense of women on this issue. As for trans folks: as I've said repeatedly, God bless 'em if they really want to try to make their bodies conform to whatever their vision of themselves is, as long as they don't infringe upon the morally dubious area of participating in women's sports and harming biological women.* Meanwhile, they should ponder the irony, pointed out long ago, of wanting people to "accept them for who they are" when they obviously can't accept themselves for who they are.

*Note how this never seems to be a problem for women who become trans men. They know their limits.
