    Judges hear the case that’s brought, not the agenda of the groups that bring things.

    Uh huh.

    If that were true, this wouldn’t be an overturning of a previous ruling on appeal. If this were not influenced by political bias, you wouldn’t get different results in different courts. Judges wouldn’t be “conservative” or “progressive”. Judges wouldn’t nearly all be straight, elderly and white.

    They are though, because the appointment process is shaped by political perspectives, because the acceptable rulings are shaped by political perspectives and the cases that get seen and funded are shaped by political perspectives.

    The fact that no trans people were called during the trial is shaped by politics.

    The judges chose to read and rule that sex is “biological” and binary, despite the legislation making no mention of it being biological, and despite the biological understanding of sex being that is very much not binary… All of that, you guessed it, shaped by politics…

    That’s really all I have to say about that part.

    Good for you. Trans people don’t have that choice.

      I would actually recommend trans people don’t start pointless fights on the internet, as well.
