Trans activist Tami Starlight agrees. For her, the entire court saga has led to the "further marginalization and disempowerment of an already marginalized and disempowered community." The latest decision means Rape Relief and other women's organizations can continue to discriminate legally, she points out.

The Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case means the BC Court of Appeal's 2005 ruling, upholding Rape Relief's right to choose its own members and decide who counts as a woman for its own purposes, will stand.
