The Supreme Court ruling that defines 'woman' based on biological sex has sparked criticism, particularly from trans campaigners. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood stated it is unacceptable to challenge the court's authority, undermining the judges' role in clarifying legal terms. While women's rights groups celebrate the decision, which permits the exclusion of transgender women from women-only spaces, it is met with resistance as some advocate for a more inclusive interpretation that considers the complexities of gender identity. The Equalities and Human Rights Commission has also issued guidance regarding use of facilities by trans individuals.
"It's disappointing... that some individuals have sought to question the validity of the Supreme Court or cast aspersions..."
"The judges said trans people are still protected from discrimination under equalities legislation..."
