UK Transgender Ruling: What Is the Impact of the Landmark Verdict on Women?

The United Kingdom’s Supreme Court has delivered a unanimous ruling stating that, under current equality laws, the legal term “woman” applies only to biological females, thereby excluding trans women. This decision holds significant consequences for the interpretation and application of equality legislation. The verdict was met with applause from gender-critical groups gathered outside the court, while many others voiced concern, viewing it as a serious blow to transgender rights.
