A few hours after the UK’s Supreme Court unanimously pronounced the verdict, online spat came out that the Equality Act 2010 refers to the words “women” and “sex” specifically to biological women. “The unanimous decision of this court is that the Equality Act 2010 mentions the words ‘woman’ and ‘sex’. Organic women And biological sex, “Supreme Court Vice President, Justice Patrick Hodge said.” We recommend reading this decision as the victory of one or more groups in our society at the cost of another. This is not. “
The ruling is seen as a major setback for trans rights campaigners, especially in relation to access to places of women such as domestic violence shelters, hospital wards and sports facilities. Legal analysts say that the decision can also affect the future legal battle on equal pay, different places and diversity in working.
While the court confirmed that transgender individuals are protected under the Act, it makes it clear that their protection falls under “gender revaluation”, not “sex”. The case was brought by the group Woman for Scotland (FWS), which challenged the Scottish government’s directive, to count women as women for public sector equality duties with gender recognition certificate (GRC).
The ruling was welcomed by a vocal FWS pro -author JK Rowling, who said, “The case has protected women and girls rights in the UK.” Meanwhile, LGBTQ+ organizations criticized the decision, warning that it could restrict access to vital services of trans women.
