UK Prime Minister Reverses Stance, Cites Equality Act in No Longer Recognizing Transgender Women as Women

The British Prime Minister has reversed his previous stance on transgender women, no longer recognizing them as women. This shift follows a recent UK Supreme Court ruling that legally defines "women" under the Equality Act as biological females, excluding transgender women. Prior to assuming office last summer, the Prime Minister had affirmed that transgender women are women. The court's decision means that individuals born male who identify as women are not legally recognized as women and therefore cannot use women's facilities such as toilets and changing rooms. This development has sparked criticism from transgender advocates and highlights ongoing debates over gender identity in the UK.
