LGBT+ organisations across the UK have expressed deep concern following a Supreme Court ruling that defines "woman" in UK law as based on biological sex. The Consortium, representing over 700 groups, warned of "widespread, harmful implications" for trans, intersex, and non-binary individuals. The decision arose from a legal battle between the Scottish government and a women’s campaign group. LGBT+ advocates say the ruling could impact healthcare, legal protections, and equality. The Consortium pledged to work with allies to clarify the ruling’s practical consequences and ensure affected communities receive support and information in the coming weeks. (PC: Sky News)
