Only a few weeks ago, the transgender agenda took a huge blow in the United Kingdom when its Supreme Court ruled that men who say they are female are not "women."
The stunning decision reversed an agenda that long had been making inroads into society there.
Now there's been a second blow.
According to a report in the National.Scot, a judge has ruled that schools in Scotland are required to provide single-sex facilities for children.
The Scottish Borders Council had been taken to court by two parents who pulled their child out of Earlston Primary School after its bosses proposed a new building – providing only unisex lavatories.
"Lady Ross KC issued a declarator – a court order – making clear the legal obligations on Scottish schools to provide single-sex facilities after a challenge from parents Sean Stratford and Leigh Hurley," the report said.
They removed their eight-year-old son from the school after their concerns about plans for the new school that included only mixed bathrooms were dismissed by the headteacher and the council. the report revealed.
A lawyer representing the council conceded that the ruling found the school officials' policy was illegal.
Hurley, 39, explained she raised concerns in 2023 about the school pushing for the "social transition" of a student, which "included allowing that person to participate in sports day races based on their 'gender identity.'"
"She also said she was concerned her son would be punished if he misgendered trans pupils, adding: 'In the end we felt we had no choice but to pull our child out of the school, which left him devastated,'" the report said.
The Christian Institute noted the ruling makes it required for state schools all across Scotland to have single-sex restrooms for students.
"Stratford and Hurley urged the council not to switch from single-sex to gender-neutral toilets during a £16.6 million building project to provide new premises for Earlston Primary School," the Christian Institute said. "When both the school and council dismissed their concerns, the parents — with the help of For Women Scotland (FWS) — challenged the lawfulness of the decision at the Court of Session."
Stratford said, "We've won, but common sense says we should never have been in this position in the first place."
Rosie Walker, a lawyer representing the parents, said, "The court order makes clear that the 1967 regulations apply to all state schools in Scotland. There is no provision for gender-neutral toilets in the regulations. Any school not complying will be in breach of the regulations and could face a legal challenge from parents."
WND reported earlier on the Supreme Court decision in the U.K. regarding men who say they are women.
The court ruling, a unanimous decision, said "woman" and "sex" in the 2010 Equality Act referred to biological sex, not a belief expressed by a male that he is suddenly female. In fact, following the science, changing gender does not happen, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.
The ruling comes in a years-long legal war between campaign group For Women Scotland and the Scottish government over the definition of a woman.
The ruling said, "The unanimous decision of this court is that the definition of the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex."
Further, that ruling adopted what President Donald Trump recently, by executive order, concluded about sex in America: It is binary.
He, in fact, said the American government recognizes two genders, male and female.
The U.K. court's 88-page decision said the "concept of sex is binary" under the Equality Act 2010.
