In a landmark ruling, the UK Supreme Court has declared that under the Equality Act, the legal definition of a “woman” is limited to individuals born biologically female. This decision overturns Scottish government guidance that included transgender women with gender recognition certificates in official female quotas. While the court emphasized that trans individuals remain protected under gender reassignment provisions, the verdict has ignited fierce debate. Women’s rights activists cheered the outcome, while human rights groups and Londoners voiced deep concern over potential setbacks for trans rights. The ruling could reshape access to single-sex spaces like hospital wards, prisons, and sports facilities across the UK #TransRights #UKSupremeCourt #EqualityAct #TransWomen #WomensRights #LGBTQ #LegalNews #GenderRecognition #HumanRights #TransExclusion #JusticeForAll #GenderEquality #Scotland #ForWomenScotland #Stonewall #InclusiveEquality #TransAwareness #EqualityLaw #ProtectTransRights Moneycontrol is Indiaโs leading financial portal, offering market news, expert analysis, and powerful tools.
