- Description
- The Supreme Court has ruled that "woman" refers to biological sex.
Judges stressed that the law still protects transgender people from discrimination.
Delivering the ruling, Lord Hodge stressed "we counsel against reading this judgement as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another, it is not."
The decision comes after a long legal case between the Scottish government and a women's group.

Labour have 24 hours to buy in new products and make a bid to nationalise the plant.
