UK Supreme Court rules ā€˜woman’ means biological female

Published on

Susan Smith (L) and Marion Calder, directors of ‘For Women Scotland’ cheer as they leave the Supreme Court on April 16, 2025, in London, England after winning their appeal in defense of biological reality

From LifeSiteNews

By Michael Haynes, Snr. Vatican Correspondent

The U.K. Supreme Court has issued a ruling stating that ā€œwomanā€ in law refers to a biological female, and that transgender ā€œwomenā€ are not female in the eyes of the law.

In a unanimous verdict, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled today that legally transgender ā€œwomenā€ are not women, since a woman is legally defined by ā€œbiological sex.ā€

PublishedĀ April 16, the Supreme Court’s 88-page verdict was handed down on the case ofĀ Women Scotland Ltd (Appellant) v. The Scottish Ministers (Respondent). The ruling marks the end of a battle of many years between the Scottish government and women’s right campaigners who sought to oppose the government’s promotion of transgender ideology.

In 2018, the Scottish government issued a decision to allow the definition of ā€œwomanā€ to include men who assume their gender to be female, opening the door to allowing so-called ā€œtransgenderā€ individuals to identify as women.

This guidance was challenged by women’s rights campaigners, arguing that a woman should be defined in line with biological sex, and in 2022 the Scottish government was forced to change its definition after the court found that such a move was outside the government’s ā€œlegislative competence.ā€

Given this, the government issued new guidance which sought to cover both aspects: saying that biological women are women, but also that men with a ā€œgender recognition certificateā€ (GRC) are also considered women. A GRC is given to people who identify as the opposite sex and who have had medical or surgical interventions in an attempt to ā€œreassignā€ their gender.

Women Scotland Ltd appealed this new guidance. At first it was rejected by inner courts, but upon their taking the matter to the Supreme Court in March last year, the nation’s highest judicial body took up the case.

Today, with the ruling issued against transgender ideology, women’s campaigners are welcoming the news as a win for women’s safety.

ā€œA thing of beauty,ā€Ā praisedĀ Lois McLatchie Miller from the Alliance Defending Freedom legal group.

ā€œVictory,ā€Ā commented Charlie Bently-Astor, a prominent campaigner for biological reality against the transgender movement, after she nearly underwent surgical transition herself at a younger age.

ā€œAfter 15 years of insanity, the U.K. Supreme Court has ruled that men who say they are ā€˜trans women’ are not women,ā€ wrote leader of the Christian political movement David Kurten.

Leader of the Conservative Party – the opposition to the current Labour government – Kemi BadenochĀ welcomedĀ the court’s ruling, writing that ā€œsaying ā€˜trans women are women’ was never true in fact and now isn’t true in law, either.ā€

 

Others lamented the fact that the debate even was taking place, let alone having gone to the Supreme Court.

ā€œWhat a parody we live in,ā€Ā commentedĀ Reform Party candidate Joseph Robertson.

Rupert Lowe MP – who has risen to new prominence in recent weeks for his outspoken condemnation of the immigration and rape gang crisis – wrote, ā€œAbsolute madness that we’re even debating what a woman is – it’s a biological fact. No amount of woke howling will ever change that.ā€

However, the Supreme Court did not wish to get pulled into siding with certain arguments, with Lord Hodge of the tribunal stating that ā€œwe counsel against reading this judgment as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another. It is not.ā€

The debate has taken center stage in the U.K. in recent years, not least for the role played by the current Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer himself has become notorious throughout the nation for his contradictions and inability to answer the question of what a woman is, having flip-flopped on saying that a woman can have a penis, due to his support for the transgender movement.

At the time of going to press, neither Starmer nor his deputy Angela Rayner issued a statement about the Supreme Court ruling. There has been no statement issued from the Scottish government either, nor from the office of the first minister.

Transgender activists have expectedly condemned the ruling as ā€œa disgusting attack onĀ transĀ rights.ā€ One leading transgender campaigner individualĀ toldĀ Sky News, ā€œI am gutted to see the judgement from the Supreme Court which ends 20 years of understanding that transgender people with a GRC are able to be, for all intents and purposes, legally recognized as our true genders.ā€

Tulsi Gabbard tells Trump she has ā€˜evidence’ voting machines are ā€˜vulnerable to hackers’

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Stephen Kokx

Last month, Trump signed anĀ executive orderĀ directing federal election-related funds to be conditioned on states ā€œcomplying with the integrity measures set forth by Federal law, including the requirement that states use the national mail voter registration form that will now require proof of citizenship.ā€

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced during a Cabinet meeting last week at the White House that voting machines across the U.S. are not secure.

ā€œWe have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time, and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast,ā€ she said about a half hour into the meeting.

 

Gabbard’s remarks confirm what millions of Americans have long suspected about elections across the U.S.

President Donald Trump himself has maintained skepticism of current voting methods and has called for paper ballots to prevent cheating.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was one of only a few voices to publicly argue that voting machines, like those run by Dominion and Smartmatic which were used during the 2020 presidential election, were compromised. GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene took to X to praise the businessman after Gabbard made her remarks.

ā€œMike Lindell along with MANY others vindicated!!ā€ she exclaimed on X. ā€œAnother conspiracy theory being proven right! Guess what Democrats already knew this and publicly talked about it in 2019! And then lied and lied and lied!!!ā€

Congress has also taken steps to ensure election integrity by voting on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (also known as the SAVE Act) last week. Dubbed ā€œcontroversialā€ by the media and left-wing groups, the common sense bill would require persons to show proof of citizenship before voting. The House approved the measure 220-208 withĀ four Democrats in support. The bill now heads to the Senate where it will face an uphill battle for the required 60 votes. Republicans currently have a 53 seat majority.
