The UK supreme court has ruled that the terms “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman and biological sex, in a victory for gender-critical campaigners.

Five judges from the UK supreme court ruled unanimously that the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 did not include transgender women who hold gender recognition certificates (GRCs).

In a significant defeat for the Scottish government, the court decision will mean that transgender women can no longer sit on public boards in places set aside for women.

    Nobody does transphobia like we do. Perhaps the darkest of dark days for trans women in the UK. And these so called “feminist” groups who have allied themselves with and received funding from far-right organisations can fuck off.
