Transgender women in Britain fear ruling could place toilets, sports and hospitals off limits

  • The United Kingdom Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of 'woman' under the 2010 Equality Act refers exclusively to sex assigned at birth, excluding trans women from specific protections and entitlements designed for women.
  • This decision allows trans women to be barred from spaces reserved for biological women, including shelters and healthcare services.
  • Advocates expressed concern that the ruling could embolden anti-trans movements globally, linking it to similar trends in the United States and other countries.
  • Organizations like For Women Scotland supported the lawsuit, which was funded by J.K. Rowling, who donated £70,000 to the campaign.
