Summary

The Supreme Court in London is hearing a case determining if trans women with Gender Recognition Certificates (GRC) should be legally considered women under the 2010 Equality Act. For Women Scotland is challenging the interpretation that the GRC supersedes biological sex.

The court is expected to deliver its judgment after extensive arguments about the legal recognition of gender identity and its implications for existing legislation.
