For Women Scotland is challenging ruling extending definition of ‘woman’ to transgender women with GRC

Transgender people have “a fundamental right” to be recognised in their legally acquired gender, the supreme court has heard in a case brought by Scottish campaigners to resolve how women are defined in law.

For Women Scotland is challenging a prior ruling by the court of session in Edinburgh, which found that Scottish government guidance extending the definition of “woman” to transgender women with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) was lawful.
