JK Rowling has celebrated a ruling by the UK Supreme Court establishing that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological s*x and not on legally certified s*x.
In an 88-page ruling published on Wednesday (April 16), Britain’s top judges declared: “The definition of s*x in the Equality Act 2010 makes clear that the concept of s*x is binary, a person is either a woman or a man.”
On social media, the Harry Potter author wrote: “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.”
