It’s a ‘grim day’, they cry. The ruling threatens trans people’s ‘safety’, they say. That’s big talk from a movement that expects female prisoners to live cheek by jowl with rapists and girls to share changing rooms with hulking blokes in ill-fitting bikinis. There are dark mutterings about ‘fascism’. Munroe Bergdorf shared a post saying: ‘There is no trans debate. There are trans people and there are fascists who wish to dominate and eliminate trans people.’ Dude, it’s not fascism to say women should be free to seek rape counselling without fearing there’ll be a weirdo in a boob tube listening in.

Imagine the colossal levels of self-regard it must require to think it’s ‘fascism’ when you’re politely asked to use the right loo. It’s amazing how many of these ‘literal women’ sound like entitled men. Slandering TERFs as ‘fascists’ has been all the rage for ages, of course. Professor of gibberish Judith Butler calls gender-critical feminism ‘one of the dominant strains of fascism in our time’. It used to be alt-right wankers who called feminists ‘feminazis’. Now it’s nonbinary wankers. Two cheeks of the same arse. Trans folk are hilariously cosplaying as civil-rights activists. The Supreme Court ruling is ‘very bleak’ but ‘we will carry on’, said Shon Faye, as if his march into women-only spaces were akin to MLK’s march on Selma.

Then, best of all, came ‘the allies’. Is there anything funnier than a fiftysomething public-school arse trying to stay relevant by saying ‘transwomen are women’? Barrister Jolyon Maugham – famous for killing foxes and losing cases – declared in his haughty headmaster’s drawl that the court’s ruling is ‘profoundly unfair’. LBC knob jockey James O’Brien asked TERFs how they feel being on the same side as Donald Trump on the trans issue. I don’t know, James, I think I’m happier being on the side of Trump than on the side of a movement that mutilates young lesbians, calls women cunts and puts rapists in women’s jails so they can rape more women.
