Supreme Court latest: Judges rule on definition of a woman in landmark case

Ruling 'absolutely' a victory for women's rights, says campaigner Some reaction now from For Women Scotland, the campaign group that brought the case against the Scottish government - which made its way from courts in Edinburgh to the highest civil court in the UK, the Supreme Court. The group's director Trina Budge has just spoken to our Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies, describing the outcome in court minutes ago as a "victory". While the judge cautioned against seeing the ruling as a win, Budge said: "This case was always about women's rights... never about trans rights." "It's absolutely a victory for women's rights," she said. Transgender people, she added, are "fully protected in law" - as the judge said. "It means there's absolute clarity in law regarding all women... and that when we see a women-only space, it means exactly that," she added. "Just women. No men. Not even if they have a gender recognition certificate." That's not a view shared by Scottish Greens activist Ellie Gomersall, who is a trans woman. As we reported at 10.26, she said it "ends 20 years of understanding" that transgender people with a gender recognition certificate are "able to be, for almost all intents and purposes, recognised legally as our true genders".
