BREAKING: Supreme Court rules that 'woman' in UK law refers to biological sex

The Supreme Court has ruled that "woman" in UK law refers to biological sex. The decision follows a long-running legal battle between the Scottish government and a women's campaign group. The Scottish government had argued that transgender people with a gender recognition certificate are entitled to sex-based protections, while For Women Scotland argued they only apply to people that are born female. Judge Lord Hodge said the ruling was not "a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another", saying the rights of transgender people were protected by law. The ruling could have far-reaching implications across Scotland, England and Wales Live updates: https://news.sky.com/story/supreme-court-latest-judges-to-rule-on-definition-of-a-woman-in-landmark-case-13349781 #transgender #transgenderrights #genderequality #supremecourt SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG5BnqHO8oNlrPDW9CYJog To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
