US EditionTrans women to be banned from Scottish Parliament's female toilets after Supreme Court ruling
- The Scottish Parliament will ban trans women from using women’s toilets and install gender-neutral toilets following a UK Supreme Court ruling in April 2025.
- The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the terms woman and man in equality law refer to biological sex, not gender recognition certificates.
- The governing body responsible for the Scottish Parliament announced that all sex-segregated facilities will be allocated based on biological sex, while also increasing the number of gender-neutral toilets by converting some existing restrooms.
- Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone stated that the interim measures are designed to meet legal requirements while providing assurance and respect for the personal space of those working in or visiting the facilities.
- The changes have led to protests and criticism from transgender groups who consider the move exclusionary, while a petition with over 100,000 signatures is scheduled for discussion in Parliament on May 19.
