UK Supreme Court backs biological definition of woman
The UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled that under the Equality Act 2010, the terms 'woman' and 'sex' refer to biological sex, not legal or certificated sex. This decision, in a case brought by For Women Scotland against the Scottish government, means that sex-based protections apply only to those born female, potentially affecting access to single-sex spaces and services for transgender people. The court stressed that transgender people still have protection against discrimination under the characteristic of gender reassignment.
