The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the legal definition of 'woman' in certain contexts refers to biological sex, not gender identity. This landmark decision has been hailed as a victory by some feminist groups, who say it empowers them to speak out on women's rights issues. However, critics, including trans rights advocates and some politicians, warn that the ruling could intensify the ongoing culture war over gender identity. The NHS and other institutions are now reviewing their policies in light of the decision, which could affect access to public spaces, maternity leave, and participation in competitive sports. The ruling has ignited passionate debate across the country about the balance between women's rights and trans inclusion.
