Critics of equal rights for transgender women have won their supreme court challenge over the definition of a woman. Five judges from the UK supreme court ruled that the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 does not include transgender women who hold gender recognition certificates (GRCs). In a defeat for the Scottish government, their decision will mean that transgender women can no longer sit on public boards in places set aside for women.
