The British Medical Association (BMA) condemned a recent Supreme Court ruling that ruled trans women are not legally considered women under the Equalities Act. This decision allows for the exclusion of transgender women with gender recognition certificates from single-sex spaces. BMA representatives criticized the ruling as scientifically illiterate and harmful, arguing against the simplistic binary divide of sex and gender. They advocate for a more nuanced understanding of gender identity, emphasizing the need for expert consultation in such critical judgments that affect the lives of transgender and gender-diverse individuals.
