What Is a Woman?!

After years of fierce debate over trans rights and gender identity, the UK Supreme Court has ruled that the word “woman” in the 2010 Equality Act refers only to “biological” women. The landmark decision is being called a major moment in the ongoing culture war. But what does this ruling actually mean in practice? Was this a legal victory for the women who brought the challenge — or a symbolic one? How will this affect trans women in the UK going forward? And does it risk fuelling further backlash and division in the debate over gender, equality, and legal rights? Emily and Jon break down what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what comes next. #trans #transrights #lgbtq #woman #man #equalityact #equality #gender #genderidentity #legal #law #court #supremecourt #culturewar #transwoman #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
