London – The British Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that the British law on equality defines a woman as a person born biologically female. Justice Patrick Hodge said that five judges unanimously decided that the “timing” of the woman and the sex in the law on equality refer to the biological woman and biological sex. “
A ruling on interpretation The law of 2010 means a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them to a woman should not be considered a woman for equality in accordance with the legislation. But the court added that his ruling “does not remove the protection against the people,” which “protected from discrimination on the basis of gender renovation.”
The case follows from the 2018 Law, adopted by the Scotland Parliament, which states that 50% of the female representation should be in the Soviets of Scottish State Bodies. This law included transgender women into their definition of women.
For the women of Scotland (FWS), the women's rights group challenged this law, claiming that the woman's rethinking had extended the powers of the parliament. But Scottish officials made new recommendations stating that the determination of the woman included anyone with a certificate of recognition of gender recognition. Fws successfully sought for it.

The UK Supreme Court ruling comes against the background of the Trump administration's efforts to Bar Transgender from service in US military and Participate in women's sportsand to prohibit Similar to gender assistance to minors, which are currently faced with legal issues in the US courts.
FWS said the results of the case may have consequences in Scotland, England and Wales for sex -based rights, as well as same -sex facilities such as toilets, hospitals and prisons.
“Without linking sex definition with its usual meaning, it means that public councils can consist of 50% of men, and 50% of men with certificates, but still legitimately fulfill the goals for the representation of women,” said Trina Buj, director earlier.
The task was rejected by the court in 2022, but last year the group was allowed to take the case in the Supreme Court.
Aidan O'Nel, the FWS lawyer, told the judges of the Supreme Court – three men and two women – that in accordance with the law on equality “sex” should refer to biological sex and as understood “in ordinary, daily language”.
“Our position is your sex, whether it is a man, a woman, or a girl or a boy, determined from the concept in me, even before the birth of the body,” he said. “This is an expression of bodily reality. It is a constant biological state.”
The right group of women calculated the author J. K. Rowling, who reportedly donated tens of thousands of pounds to support his work. Harry Potter's writer said, claiming that the rights to the trance should not come at the expense of those born biologically female.
Opponents, including Amnesty International, said that with the exception of transgender people with the protection of sexual discrimination contradicted by human rights law.
The amnesty presented a short statement in court, which states that this is concerned about the deterioration of the rights for trans -people in the UK and abroad.
“A policy that prohibits trans-female from same-sex services is not a proportion to achieve a legitimate goal,” the human rights group said.
