Headline: JK Rowling celebrates Supreme Court ruling on trans women
Caption: The court's five judges agreed in the landmark decision that "the terms 'woman' and 'sex'" under the UK's 2010 Equality Act "refer to a biological woman and biological sex". The ruling "does not remove protection from trans people," who are "protected from discrimination on the ground of gender reassignment," the court confirmed, but a transgender person with documentation recognising them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes. "It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they've protected the rights of women and girls across the UK."
