US EditionSurvey suggests most people think Supreme Court gender ruling was right
- YouGov surveyed 2,106 adults in Great Britain after the April 2024 Supreme Court ruling on biological sex definitions in the Equality Act 2010.
- The ruling, prompted by For Women Scotland's legal challenge against the Scottish Government, clarified that 'woman' and 'sex' refer to biological sex in law.
- The survey found 63% supported the ruling, 74% agreed with bans on transgender women in female sports, and the Equality and Human Rights Commission issued guidance restricting trans women from women’s facilities.
- Following the Supreme Court ruling, the Cabinet Office’s Pat McFadden emphasized that individuals are expected to use facilities corresponding to their biological sex, while assuring there would be no enforcement patrols. Meanwhile, Maya Forstater challenged assertions that confusion was causing delays in applying the law.
- These developments suggest widespread public support for clear legal definitions on sex but have led to legal challenges and concerns from some trans rights groups.
