The article details a significant shift in Keir Starmer's stance on trans rights since 2020, particularly after the Supreme Court's recent ruling that defined 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act as strictly biological. This decision, which was supported by the UK Prime Minister, has prompted immediate policy changes among public bodies, including the British Transport Police's treatment of trans women in custody. The ruling raises concerns about the future of trans and non-binary rights in the UK.
Starmer expressed satisfaction with the Supreme Court's ruling, indicating a notable shift in Labour's approach to trans rights and the definition of womanhood.
The court's decision confirms that the concept of 'woman' within the Equality Act is limited to biological women, excluding transgender women from this definition.
