On April 16, 2025, the UK Supreme Court issued a ruling excluding transgender women from the legal definition of women. This decision has sparked significant debate and concern regarding its impact on transgender individuals. Nicola Sturgeon, former First Minister of Scotland and SNP leader, criticized the ruling, warning that it could make the lives of transgender people "almost unliveable." Sturgeon also refused to apologize to women for her previous self-identification gender policy, emphasizing the potential harm to trans lives. In contrast, some politicians, such as a member of the New South Wales Parliament, have supported the court's decision, urging legislative bodies to adopt this clarified definition to prevent harm to children and advocating for autonomy only for adults over 18. The ruling and its aftermath continue to provoke discussions on gender identity and legal definitions in the UK and beyond.
