(SRN NEWS) – The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom is considering a legal challenge focusing on the definition of what a woman is. It’s part of a long-running dispute between a women’s rights group and the Scottish government. The case seeks to clarify whether a transgender person with a gender recognition certificate that recognizes them as female can be regarded as a woman under equality law. Legal experts say the case could have wide consequences in the U.K. for sex-based rights as well as everyday single-sex services such as toilets and hospital wards.
Swiss watchmaker Swatch has won a suit against the Malaysian government after a court ordered the return of 172 watches seized last year due to designs that included LGBT elements. Authorities seized the watches during raids on Swatch outlets in May of 2023. Swatch contested allegations that the watches are harmful, claiming that they are designed to promote “peace and love”. Homosexuality and gay marriage remain illegal in mostly-Muslim Malaysia. The government says it is considering an appeal of the court ruling.
A Massachusetts man has pleaded guilty to threatening to kill members of the state’s Jewish community and bomb local synagogues. Fifty-nine-year-old John Reardon, has pleaded guilty to one count of obstruction of free exercise of religious beliefs by threat of force and several other charges. In January of this year, Reardon called Congregation Agudas Achim (ah-GOO-dahs ah-KIM) and left a voicemail making several threats to kill congregants and bomb the synagogue. He faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a fine of up to 750,000 dollars.
A liberal panic is developing about divorce. Warnings have been popping up on social media urging women who might be considering divorce to “pull the trigger”, ever since President Trump won reelection. In fact, the twice-divorced president has never said anything about changing the country’s divorce laws, and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance has only lamented the fact that there are too many divorces. Despite the panic, there is no national coordinated effort underway to make changes in divorce law. And states determine their own divorce laws, so national leaders can’t change policy.
