UK Supreme Court to Rule on Legal Definition of 'Woman'

TL;DR Summary
The UK Supreme Court is hearing a landmark case brought by Scottish campaigners to define 'woman' in law, which could have significant implications for trans rights and women's rights across the UK. The case examines the intersection of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and the Equality Act 2010, focusing on whether a person with a gender recognition certificate is legally considered a woman under the Equality Act. The outcome could affect the operation of single-sex spaces and services, and potentially lead to legal challenges or calls for legislative reform.
