After a recent ruling by the UK Supreme Court that defines a woman as someone born female, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's office clarified his stance on transgender women. This follows previous statements where Starmer accepted transgender women as women, stating it was both his view and a legal definition. However, in light of the court's ruling, he now aligns with the definition that recognizes women solely based on biological sex, affecting the rights of transgender individuals in accessing women-only spaces and services.
In March 2022, Starmer stated that "a woman is a female adult," but his spokesman clarified that the definition has shifted following a Supreme Court ruling.
The Supreme Court ruling emphasizes that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law, impacting transgender women's rights to access women-only spaces.
Starmer previously expressed support for the inclusion of trans women in the definition of woman, stating that it is 'the law' before the Supreme Court's decision.
Following the Supreme Court's ruling, Starmer's spokesman reaffirmed that under the law, women are only biological women, marking a shift from Starmer's earlier views.
