The UK Supreme Court is poised to make a ruling on whether the Equality Act 2010 includes transgender women with gender recognition certificates within its definition of women. This ruling will significantly affect transgender women's rights regarding access to women-only spaces and representation on women-reserved public boards. The case, brought by For Women Scotland, challenges the Scottish government's stance, arguing for a stricter definition of 'woman.' Depending on the decision, there may be considerable legislative changes required to clarify these rights within the Equality Act.
