UK Supreme Court Begins Case on Definition of 'Woman'

Supreme Court on Tuesday began hearing a case over the definition of "woman."The case, initiated by women's rights campaign group For Women Scotland (FWS), centers on whether a transgender person with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) that recognizes them as a female, can qualify as a woman under equality laws.While the case, in which five judges at Britain's highest court will hear arguments, centers on Scottish laws, FWS has said its outcomes could have U.K.-wide consequences for sex-based rights as well as everyday single-sex services.The case stems from Scotland's Gender Representation on Public Boards Act 2018, which mandates that 50 percent of board members on public bodies be women, including transgender women.While this law aimed to promote inclusivity, FWS challenged the interpretation, arguing Scottish Parliament's redefinition of "woman" went beyond parliament's powers.Scottish officials then issued guidance stating that the definition of "woman" included a transgender woman who has a gender recognition certificate. FWS is seeking to overturn that decision.After an initial legal defeat in 2022, FWS escalated the matter to the U.K.
