The newest member of the U.S. Supreme Court infamously could not answer what a woman is, but the United Kingdon’s highest court declared today that it is very clear on the matter. The British Supreme Court stated, “The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex.”
The defining statement in the U.K. court’s decision appears on page 3, stating,
The central question on this appeal is whether the EA 2010 treats a trans woman with a GRC [gender recognition certificate] as a woman for all purposes within the scope of its provisions, or when that Act speaks of a “woman” and “sex” it is referring to a biological woman and biological sex [emphasis added].
Members of the court all landed on the biological definition, rejecting the new elastic definition used by gender ideology.
This is a landmark decision for gender-realists who root their view of what it means to be human as male or female in objective biological reality. Politico explains, “The ruling could have far-reaching implications for the provision of single-sex spaces and other gender-specific public services across Scotland, England and Wales.”
The court explained, “The principal question which the court addresses on this appeal is the meaning of the words which Parliament has used in the EA 2010 in legislating to protect women and members of the trans community against discrimination.”
They further explain, saying, “Our task is to see if those words [to denote woman] can bear a coherent and predictable meaning” within British law.
This consequential decision resulted from a lengthy and detailed challenge from three bold Scottish women working with the organization For Women Scotland which defines itself as “a group of women from across Scotland working to protect and strengthen women and children’s rights.”
J.K. Rowling, a fearless defender of common sense for what a woman is, posted the following celebration of the decision, saying she is “so proud to know you” referring to the “three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women” who fought for this landmark decision.
One anonymous commenter to Rowling’s post summed up the consequences of this decision as well as anyone,
When Parliament fled, when media lied, when cowards hid behind slogans, three Scottish women stood their ground. And they won.
This wasn’t just a legal victory. It was a cultural exorcism. The spell is broken: a woman is an adult human female. Full stop.
Rowling’s right to be proud. The rest of the political class should be ashamed it ever came to this.
A cultural exorcism indeed. Now, if only other legal bodies across the globe would follow this common sense reasoning.
