SANITY PREVAILS: U.K. Supreme Court Rules UNANIMOUSLY That a Woman Is Defined by Biological Sex (WATCH)

The UK Supreme Court has made a unanimous ruling that the terms ‘women’ and ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 pertain to biological women. This decision is a significant victory for women. The court’s judgment will have widespread implications for the legal definition and application of sex and gender in various areas of UK law, potentially impacting the rights of transgender women regarding single-sex spaces and services. The ruling stemmed from a challenge brought by For Women Scotland, which contested the inclusion of transgender women with gender recognition certificates in the female quota for public boards in Scotland. Following the rejection of their case in 2022, the Supreme Court allowed their appeal, marking a triumph for women’s rights in Scotland and beyond. The decision has been celebrated by the plaintiffs and supporters as a major win and a step towards restoring clarity on the definition of a woman based on biological sex.
