The UK Supreme Court has issued a ruling that legally defines 'woman' strictly based on biological sex, marking a shift in the recognition of transgender rights in the country. This decision restricts the legal definition of womanhood to biological females, which has been viewed by many as a rollback of trans rights and a setback for the transgender community. The ruling clarifies the law rather than suggesting a new interpretation, according to legal commentators. The decision has sparked debate internationally, with some noting its implications for ongoing discussions about transgender rights in other countries such as Spain and Australia. Critics argue that the ruling undermines the rights of a vulnerable minority, while supporters emphasize the legal clarity it provides. The UK Supreme Court's stance contrasts with some other jurisdictions where courts have recognized gender identity beyond biological sex.
