The U.K. Supreme Court has ruled that a woman is defined as one born biologically female, thereby excluding transgender women from the legal definition. This unanimous decision allows for the exclusion of trans women from certain women-only spaces, such as changing rooms and shelters, under the U.K. Equality Act. Supporters of the ruling, such as For Women Scotland, view it as a triumph for women's spaces and common sense. This decision also provides clarification on an issue that has sparked intense debate, especially in U.S. politics, regarding transgender rights.
It's common sense, basic common sense and the fact that we have been down a rabbit hole where people have tried to deny science and to deny reality.
The ruling means that a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes.
Five judges ruled unanimously that the U.K. Equality Act means trans women can be excluded from some groups and single-sex spaces.
The ruling brings some clarity in the U.K. to a contentious issue that has polarized politics in some other countries, particularly the U.S.
