Transgender women are not legally considered women: The Supreme Court’s historic ruling that the definition of a woman is tied to “biological sex” may prevent transgender people from using single-sex places.

The Scottish government maintained that these individuals are entitled to them. The case aimed to reverse a 2023 Scottish court ruling that determined.

It was legal to classify a person with a GRC as a woman under the Equality Act. The results will affect Wales, Scotland, and England.

‘The unanimous conclusion of this court is that the words ‘woman’ and’sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 pertain to biological woman and biological sex,’ stated Lord Hodge while delivering the ruling.

“We unanimously allow the appeal in a judgment written by Lady Rose, Lady Simler, and myself, with which Lord Reed and Lord Lloyd-Jones agree,” he said.
