The UK Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that the term "woman" under the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex, marking a major legal milestone in a years-long case between the Scottish government and campaign group For Women Scotland. Lord Hodge emphasized that the judgment should not be seen as a victory for one group over another, while affirming that transgender individuals still retain legal protections. The ruling was met with cheers and tears of joy from campaigners in court. Politicians including Kemi Badenoch and Rosie Duffield hailed the decision as a "victory for common sense." (PC: Reuters)
