In a unanimous verdict, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled today that legally transgender "women" are not women, since a woman is legally defined by "biological sex."

Published April 16, the Supreme Court's 88-page verdict was handed down on the case of Women Scotland Ltd (Appellant) v. The Scottish Ministers (Respondent). The ruling marks the end of a battle of many years between the Scottish government and women's right campaigners who sought to oppose the government's promotion of transgender ideology.

In 2018, the Scottish government issued a decision to allow the definition of "woman" to include men who assume their gender to be female, opening the door to allowing so-called "transgender" individuals to identify as women.

This guidance was challenged by women's rights campaigners, arguing that a woman should be defined in line with biological sex, and in 2022 the Scottish government was forced to change its definition after the court found that such a move was outside the government's "legislative competence."

Given this, the government issued new guidance which sought to cover both aspects: saying that biological women are women, but also that men with a "gender recognition certificate" (GRC) are also considered women. A GRC is given to people who identify as the opposite sex and who have had medical or surgical interventions in an attempt to "reassign" their gender.

Women Scotland Ltd appealed this new guidance. At first it was rejected by inner courts, but upon their taking the matter to the Supreme Court in March last year, the nation's highest judicial body took up the case.

Today, with the ruling issued against transgender ideology, women's campaigners are welcoming the news as a win for women's safety.

"A thing of beauty," praised Lois McLatchie Miller from the Alliance Defending Freedom legal group.

"They looked at the whole argument, not just who goes in what bathroom and trans women. This is going to change organisations, employers, service providers," Maya Forstater, chief executive of Sex Matters, told the Telegraph. "Everyone is going to have to pay attention to this, this is from the highest court in the land. It's saying sex in the Equality Act is biological sex. Self ID is dead."...
