“The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the U.K. equalities law defines a woman as someone born biologically female. Justice Patrick Hodge said five judges at the court had ruled unanimously that ‘the terms ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman.’ The ruling means that a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes. The case stems from a 2018 law passed by the Scottish Parliament stating that there should be a 50% female representation on the boards of Scottish public bodies. That law included transgender women in its definition of women.” (04/16/25)
