The United Kingdom’s Supreme Court has ruled that the term “woman” refers to a biological female.
The case, which was originally brought by transgender-skeptical feminists against the regional Scottish government, sought to establish in law whether the word woman referred to a biological female or included people who identify as such.
“The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex,” Patrick Hodge, deputy president of the Supreme Court, said as he delivered his judgment on Wednesday.
“Therefore, a person with a Gender Recognition Certificate in the female gender does not come within the definition of a ‘woman’ under the Equality Act 2010 and the statutory guidance issued by the Scottish ministers is incorrect.”

The Labour government accepted the ruling, stating that it had given “clarity and confidence” for women on the issue of single-sex spaces.
“Single-sex spaces are protected in law and will always be protected by this government,” a spokesperson said in a statement following the ruling.
Conservative Party Leader Kemi Badenoch, a former equalities minister, hailed the ruling as a “victory for all of the women who faced personal abuse or lost their jobs for stating the obvious.”
“Saying ‘trans women are women’ was never true in fact, and now isn’t true in law either,” she said.
Meanwhile, Maggie Chapman of the Scottish Greens and a member of the Scottish Parliament, denounced the decision as “deeply concerning” and “a huge blow to some of the most marginalised people in our society.”
She added that trans people were now “deeply anxious and worried about how their lives will be affected and about what will come next,” she said.
The ruling is a devastating blow to Britain’s aggressive trans lobby, which has sought to redefine what the term “women” and grant transgender women access the exact same societal and cultural rights as biological females.
Similar to the United States, Britain has seen an explosion of transgender identification and surgeries over the past decade.
An analysis carried out in November 2023 found that the number of people identifying as transgender had risen five-fold since 2000, with a large proportion of them going through with genital mutiliation surgeries to try and reflect their new-found gender.
