Isn't this racial discrimination?

> Southern Poverty Law Centre's legal hopes rest on an international smear campaign
...
> So, taking the Edward Charles Foundation as an example, SPLC cannot outright say something like “SEGM are funded by the Koch Institute” - because there is no evidence of that. All they can say is that in the same tax year as the Edward Charles Foundation received $1.3 million from Koch, the Edward Charles Foundation gave $100k to SEGM. That’s all - and all they do is present these numbers near each other, and thereby strongly imply a financial connection between the Heritage Foundation and SEGM, without actually saying so - which then, in the hands of activists like Reed becomes definitive. There’s nothing here but insinuation - and seemingly false, since according to this Undark report, it was an individual donor who gave money via the Edward Charles Foundation, who simply wishes to remain anonymous:
> The donor, a 68-year-old woman from California who asked to remain anonymous because she feared harassment, described herself as a non-religious feminist who had supported Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
> However, in the case of American Online Giving Foundation, Fidelity Investments and Vanguard the accusation of “shared funding streams” becomes quite staggering hypocrisy. These are huge foundations, collectively worth $21 billion annually, that make thousands and thousands of donations every year, not only to dubious organisations like Alliance Defending Freedom or Family Research Council, but also to SPLC themselves.
> - In 2020/21 the Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund gave SEGM $363,500, while also giving SPLC $4,065,459.
> - In 2020/21 Vanguard gave SEGM $22,000 and SPLC 45 times more: $1,084,650
> - In 2020/21, The American Online Giving Foundation gave SEGM just $15,201 and SPLC over 130 times more: $1,995,272

Looks like fun course that involves reading violent texts written by dangerous terfs. Too bad it costs $335 to attend!
> Feminists Against Women: the Politics of Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism - Brooklyn Institute for Social Research
https://thebrooklyninstitute.com/items/courses/new-york/feminists-against-women-the-politics-of-trans-exclusionary-radical-feminism-3/
> Beginning with Gyn/Ecology (1978) by the American theologian Mary Daly and The Transsexual Empire (1979) by the Catholic nun turned lesbian separatist Janice Raymond, we will read a spread of excerpts from the past 45 years of transphobic feminism, including Material Girls by Kathleen Stock and Feminism for Women by Julie Bindel. We’ll also read critiques of TERFist philosophy by trans radicals, political theorists, and feminist scholars—e.g., Susan Stryker, Juliet Jacques, Cristan Williams, Brooke Beloso, Jules Joanne Gleeson. As we go, we’ll attend to a right-wing drift in the politics of identity more generally, examining how, with philosopher Wendy Brown, “certain well-intentioned contemporary political projects and theoretical postures inadvertently redraw the very configurations and effects of power that they seek to vanquish.” Together, we will consider Brown’s concept of “wounded attachments” as a lens through which to view TERFism. By engaging with a series of what are overall violent texts, we will equip ourselves with knowledge that can be of use to trans-liberation struggle. How can a critical study of TERFism, undertaken from an uncompromisingly trans-liberatory point of view, help us, in Susan Stryker’s words, “extract all of our bodies from the coloniality of gender, untether ourselves from the racializing biopolitical assemblages…and heal from the wounded attachments to identity categories through which we live but that can thwart our collective work”?

https://greensinexile.org.uk/the-hounding-of-shahrar-ali
> For the first time, a political party had been found guilty of illegal treatment of someone because of their Gender Critical views. Shahrar was awarded damages and 2 weeks ago was awarded a further £90,000 in legal costs. How much the Green Party spent attempting to defend itself is unknown but the total bill could be as much as half a million pounds. A sane party would have taken a long hard look at itself – trying to understand how it had ended up breaking equality law and making sure that nothing like this ever happened again. But the Green Party is not a rational party. Instead, it embarked on a purge of Gender Critical members, forcing dozens of dedicated, hard-working members out. And now, to top it all, the party has expelled Shahrar himself.

Imagine someone committed a murder, and told the court that Jesus (or whichever godhead) told him to kill the victim, and there's no proof or evidence that something else motivated his killing, would it be reasonable for the court to conclude that "he killed the victim because the victim looked funny"?

Actually, I still don't think it is consistent. The judge can say that legal sex, not actual sex is the basis of his ruling, but to use that to discard Grover's reason of banning tickle does not make sense, as it is not a truthful statement any more to say the banning is purely based on appearance. He could say it is based on the irrelevant belief of grover that tickle is male.

The judge is making things up here. Grover banned Tickle because of his sex, not appearance.
