Thousands have protested outside the UK Supreme Court after a ruling limited the legal definition of a woman to biological sex, raising concerns among trans rights advocates.
Thousands of protesters marched through the streets of London to oppose a UK Supreme Court ruling that defines a woman based solely on biological sex.
Demonstrators gathered outside the Supreme Court, rejecting the decision that excludes trans women from the legal definition of a woman under equality laws. The landmark ruling has sparked backlash from trans rights supporters while being welcomed by the government as a step toward legal clarity.
The judgment could have wide-reaching consequences for access to single-sex spaces such as toilets, hospital wards, and prisons.
Amnesty International called the ruling disappointing and warned of its potential impact on trans people. However, it noted that the decision does not remove existing protections under the Equality Act, including the safeguarded characteristic of gender reassignment.
The UK’s highest court also stated that trans people remain protected from discrimination on the basis of gender reassignment.
