The UK’s Supreme Court has ruled that “the definition of the terms ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex,” backing a case brought by For Women Scotland against the Scottish government. Lord Patrick Hodge read the unanimous decision of the court on April 16, but warned that it should not be seen as “a triumph of one or more groups in our society against another; it is not.” Hodge said the relevant law would still give protection to transgender people “not only against discrimination through the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, but also against direct discrimination, indirect discrimination and harassment in substance in their acquired gender.” (Credit: UK Supreme Court via Storyful)
