SOURCE- INDEPENDENT UK: The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Equality Act’s definition of a woman is based on biological sex.
Five judges unanimously decided that transgender women with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) should not be treated as a woman under the 2010 Equality Act.
The decision is in response to a challenge brought by campaign group For Women Scotland (FWS), over the inclusion of transgender women with GRCs in the 50 per cent female quota mandated for public boards in Scotland.
The group’s case against the Scottish Government was rejected by judges in Edinburgh in 2022. However, its appeal was allowed by the Supreme Court on Wednesday morning.
The court’s decision will have far-reaching implications for how sex and gender are legally defined and applied across various aspects of UK law. It will also likely affect the rights of transgender women to use single-sex spaces and services.
Ruling welcomed by Britain’s equalities watchdog
Britain’s equalities watchdog has welcomed the ruling as having addressed challenges around single-sex spaces.
Baroness Kishwer Falkner, chairwoman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), said: “Today the Supreme Court ruled that a gender recognition certificate does not change a person’s legal sex for the purposes of the Equality Act.
“We are pleased that this judgment addresses several of the difficulties we highlighted in our submission to the court, including the challenges faced by those seeking to maintain single-sex spaces and the rights of same-sex attracted persons to form associations.
“As we did not receive the judgment in advance, we will make a more detailed statement once we have had time to consider its implications in full.”

Well done UK…. WELL DONE!!!! It’s about time we put a stop to this madness…
No woman could have had that face!!!!
This is a serious set back to those who were born males and beleive themselves to be females. The wearing of a dress, the braiding of the hair and the aplication of makup the the face do not biologically change a born male into female.
Bramble is that you?
I cant understand feminist movements. They want to attack “Patriarchal Society” defending men with makeup take over their spaces…Last years is a disgusting trend of women protesting in favor of those men that are taking their space.. From sports to beauty contest all is invaded by men, and those women are so happy with that.
Madness
Donald Trump: There are two genders and they are male and female….
Miss Knight must be devastated!! tek arf de big jarz and tap wait for ole ppl fu ded!!
Very surprised that this is coming from the UK. I applaud.
When a man has had surgery to successfully remove the Y chromosome from every one of his approximately 36 trillion cells…then we can talk about changing his gender.
NOTHING can change what THE CREATOR has established. They can try to tamper with it, pretend, imitate, try to copy, but Satan will never triumph over King Jesus (The Word)
Listen I don’t care what anyone says!
Be what the hell you want to be. You’re only accountable to GOD and HE alone will/can judge you!
Everyone out there tell people what they should do, how they should act, and blah blah blah in the name of God when they’re out there breaking every commandment and committing every immoral act.
