UK Supreme Court rules on legal definition of "woman" and "sex"
-
The UK Supreme Court has ruled (today) that the legal definition of "woman" refers to biological females.
They also ruled that "sex" only refers to biological sex.
This does not strip trans people's rights as they are still protected in other areas of the Equality Act.
Unsurprisingly, the legal definition of "men" was not addressed.
This ruling applies to ALL laws where "women" or "sex" is mentioned, not just so-called equality laws.

@raphjd Police promptly arrested the Court for anti-Trans speech.
Kidding. But what would stop them?
Anyhoo....
Five judges ruled unanimously that the U.K. Equality Act means trans women can be excluded from some groups and single-sex spaces, such as changing rooms, homeless shelters, swimming areas and medical or counseling services provided only to women.
The ruling means that a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes.
“Everyone knows what sex is and you can’t change it,” said Susan Smith, co-director of For Women Scotland, which brought the case. “It’s common sense, basic common sense and the fact that we have been down a rabbit hole where people have tried to deny science and to deny reality and hopefully this will now see us back to reality.”

Surprising that sanity is still possible in the UK legal system. My guess is that the ruling will simply be ignored while the indoctrinated politicians in parliament work on changing the law ASAP.
