Judges at the UK Supreme Court have unanimously ruled that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.
It marks the culmination of a long-running legal battle which could have major implications for how sex-based rights apply across Scotland, England and Wales.
The court sided with campaign group For Women Scotland, which brought a case against the Scottish government arguing that sex-based protections should only apply to people that are born female.
The Scottish government argued in court that transgender people with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) are entitled to the same sex-based protections as biological women.

The blokes have embarrassed us Yanks. They know what a woman is. We don’t. Our “women” have big bags of “junk” for the TSA boys to have to go through.
It’s ludicrous that ANY court should have to rule on this. Of course, a “biological” man is a man and a “biological” woman is a woman.
That exchange should have gotten her disqualified for the court...
She’s not a biologist, you know.
Scotland seems to be particularly enthusiastic for the characteristically Euro concept of government as god.
The government in this case had already decided to be the arbiter of sex status by issuing certificates.
I’m surprised the court, being a mere component part of god government, ruled against itself.
I never understood what she meant by ‘in this context’.
It was a straightforward question. What the heck did she think was the ‘context’?
You nailed it. Their court is smarter than the Neanderthals on our Supremacist Court.
“The Scottish government argued in court that transgender people with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) are entitled to the same sex-based protections as biological women.” I don’t have a GRC, but I do have a mirror.
Not sarcasm!!!
Well that’s a Becker wrecker for trans men playing women’s sports. It will in the US also come to pass.
