In this fierce and timely episode of The Scenic Route, we unpack the UK Supreme Court’s ruling that redefines “woman” based solely on biological sex, excluding trans women from legal protections, political representation, and basic recognition.

But this isn’t just a courtroom debate. It’s a culture war dressed in legal robes. We follow the funding behind the ruling, expose the billionaire feminists fueling the backlash, and dismantle the persistent myths about biology, gender, and identity.

This episode asks hard questions: Who really benefits from the binary? Why do so many defend it so violently? And what does it mean that we wreck Teslas, but not Harry Potter books?

We draw insights from Judith Butler, bell hooks, Laurie Penny, Simone de Beauvoir, and others to examine why trans women are not a threat to womanhood: they are its most powerful proof.

In this episode:

• Why the UK ruling matters far beyond Britain
• JK Rowling, Elon Musk, and the weaponisation of wealth
• Why biological sex is a spectrum, not a binary
• How gender is assigned, performed, and punished
• The role of evangelical power and purity culture in gender politics
• 10 takedowns of the “biological women only” myth
  
  
  

See you on the Scenic Route, because sometimes the long way is the shortest way home.
