The Supreme Court of Britain decided who to consider a woman.

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has determined who can be considered a woman

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom made a ruling that established who can be recognized as a woman and who cannot. According to the court's decision, a woman can only be considered someone who was born as a woman. This was reported by the publication 'Glavkom' referencing the 'Guardian'.

The reason for reviewing such a question was the decision of the Scottish government that was made in 2018, asserting that the law on gender equality protects the rights of all women, including transgender individuals. This law provides for an increase in the number of women in public service. However, representatives of the feminist movement in Scotland do not agree with this approach.

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom unanimously decided that the term 'woman' in the equality legislation refers to 'biological woman and biological sex'. Therefore, transgender individuals cannot claim the same rights as women by birth.

The court's decision has received support from the Labour Party, which believes that this decision leads to 'clarity' in the interpretation of the law. Conservatives have also reacted positively to it, calling it 'an obvious victory for common sense'.

It was previously reported that the UK Department for Business and Trade has temporarily suspended the imposition of tariffs on 89 categories of food and essential goods. This measure will be in effect until 2027.

The ruling of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has become an important step in the social discussion about recognizing the rights of transgender individuals and protecting women's rights. This decision will have implications for equality legislation in other countries and may lead to further debates on the definition of the concept of 'woman'.
