For Women Scotland is taking legal action against the Scottish government over its policies regarding trans pupils and transgender individuals in custody, alleging these policies violate a Supreme Court ruling. The ruling clarified that 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act refer strictly to biological sex. The group's lawsuit seeks to quash guidance that allows trans students to use facilities inconsistent with their sex assigned at birth and maintains that trans women can be held in women's prisons if they don't pose a risk to others.
