Here’s a question so difficult the UK Supreme Court is going to take it up:

“What is a woman?”

It’s a tough one, right?

Especially in this day and age.

And that is why the UK Supreme Court is going to hear a case on just that: The definition of the word “woman.”

No joke, they’re actually going to hear this one!

This has been a long legal battle out of Scotland.

The Gender Representation on Public Boards Act was passed in 2018. It aimed to get more women onto public sector boards. Of course, then non-women (you know who I’m talking about) tried to make themselves a part of the “women” group. A group called For Women Scotland challenged in court the right of these non-women to be included in the “women” group and won.

But the government wasn’t going to let that stand: Ohhhh no!

The Scottish government amended the bill, but also laid out new guidance, which stated that the law would include “women” as defined by the UK’s Gender Recognition Act. This let the men back in, as long as they had a gender certificate.

According to Google, “A gender recognition certificate (GRC) is a legal document that recognizes a person’s preferred gender.”

Yes, apparently this is a real thing. Male cops can even strip-search women now if the cop has a GRC that says they identify as female.

A judge then ruled in 2022 against For Women Scotland, saying that the definition of sex is “not limited to biological or birth sex,” and even non-women with one of those GRCs could be considered women.

This is what led to the supreme court case.

It will set out exactly how the law is meant to treat trans people, and what it really means to go through the gender recognition process.

And it could have implications for the running of single-sex spaces and services, and how measures aimed at tackling discrimination will operate in future.
