British minister for Women and Equalities addresses parliament after the Supreme Court ruling regarding the definition of a ‘woman’ under the Equality Act. The Supreme Court ruled on April 16 that single-sex services for women, such as refuges, hospital wards and sports, could exclude trans women, clearing up legal ambiguity.
The judgment, which followed action by the "For Women Scotland" group, was welcomed by those who have argued that transgender policies have infringed on the rights of biological women. Trans rights campaigners, however, said the ruling would have harmful implications on both a legal and practical level, and could lead to trans people being excluded from parts of society.
