'Unacceptable' to question Supreme Court gender ruling, says minister

  • The UK Supreme Court ruled in April 2025 that the definition of 'woman' under the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex, excluding transgender women with Gender Recognition Certificates.
  • This ruling reversed a 20-year interpretation that included transgender women with GRCs and followed years of debate and calls from the EHRC to redefine 'sex' in law.
  • Following the ruling, bodies like the EHRC issued interim guidance restricting trans people’s access to single-sex spaces, leading to policy changes in sport and local councils seeking clarity on service provision.
  • Baroness Falkner, chair of the EHRC, emphasized that the judiciary’s integrity should not be challenged and urged lawmakers to thoroughly review the Supreme Court’s ruling, while over 7,000 union members underwent training to support trans rights amid ongoing concerns.
  • The ruling has caused significant concern and uncertainty for trans communities and public bodies, prompting calls for clearer guidance and highlighting tensions in balancing legal definitions with inclusion efforts.
