The UK Supreme Court has issued a landmark judgment on how a woman should be defined in law.
The long-running legal challenge centres around how sex-based rights are applied through the UK-wide Equality Act 2010.
The judges were asked to rule on what that legislation means by "sex" - whether biological sex or "certificated" sex as legally defined by the 2004 Gender Recognition Act.
They unanimously decided the definition of a "woman" and "sex" in the Equality Act 2010 refers to "a biological woman and biological sex".

We're so used to these "wins" going the other way...
I’m not sure if I should be stuned or not stuned.
Does Ketanji know about this?
So when are they going to be arrested for offending the trannies? This is UK remember.
It’s a win, but it’s kind of like having the Court confirm that 2+2=4..
Next up is a ruling that bears don’t use toilet paper and the Pope is not Catholic.
Will the US Supreme Court do it’s duty? Or condone the democrat madness.
Kentagi is the beauty queen of the soopremes.
Hope they didn’t post their decision online ... the UK Gestapo will be kicking down their doors and arresting them for hate speech.
Color me surprised. Ketanji Brown Jackson actually does know that a woman is.
lmao on myself. ooops UK court.
They’ll say “but ‘sex’ isn’t ‘gender’”.
Absolutely shocked. The UK is usually at the leading edge of the destruction of the western world. Hard to believe they got this one right.
No, that is the UK Supreme Court not the Scotus. She still doesn’t know what a woman is because she is not yet a biologist. lol
Who knew that the UK supreme court had so many biologists on it?
That something so obvious needs the ruling of a Supreme Court, shows the level of insanity we’re living in.
No: what the excerpt does not include is:
Delivering the ruling at the London court on Wednesday, Lord Hodge said: "But we counsel against reading this judgment as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another. It is not. "The Equality Act 2010 gives transgender people protection, not only against discrimination through the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, but also against direct discrimination, indirect discrimination and harassment in substance in their acquired gender..."statutory protections are available to transgender people, whether or not they possess a gender recognition certificate."
Duh,
It’s better than a loss even if it is obvious
