For Women Scotland won a legal battle regarding the definition of gender, resulting in a UK supreme court ruling that defined 'woman' and 'sex' as biological terms. The group contends that the Scottish government's policies on transgender pupils and individuals in custody violate this ruling. They are pursuing further legal action, seeking to overturn school and prison policies that allow for accommodations based on gender identity. The Scottish ministers have a limited time to respond, after which the policies may face court challenges if not retracted.
For Women Scotland has stated that nothing has persuaded the government to take action, and both policies remain stubbornly in place, to the detriment of vulnerable women and girls.
The group has applied to the court of session seeking to quash policies that they believe are inconsistent with the UK supreme court judgment regarding biological definitions of sex.
The schools guidance states young people should use the facilities they feel most comfortable with, which has raised concerns for the campaign group and its members.
The prison guidance permits a transgender woman into the women's estate if they do not pose a risk, conflicting with the group’s interpretation of the legal ruling on gender.
