UK SUPREME COURT’S Bold Ruling Defines “Woman”—Sparks Relief And Outrage
— The UK Supreme Court has ruled that a woman is someone born biologically female. This means transgender women are not included in the legal definition of a woman under British law. Groups can now limit single-sex spaces, like changing rooms and shelters, to biological women only. Justice Patrick Hodge explained that this ruling does not take away protections for transgender people. He said using “certificated sex” instead of biological sex would make the law confusing and unclear. Women’s rights advocates cheered outside the court after hearing the decision. Many see it as a win for common sense and safety in public spaces. This landmark ruling is sure to fuel more debate about gender identity and legal rights across Britain. Both sides are preparing for what comes next in this heated national conversation.
