The U.K. Supreme Court has begun hearing a legal challenge focusing on the definition of “woman” in a long-running dispute between a women’s right campaign group and the Scottish government.
A woman in her late 70s died, and five other people were injured in a crash on Tuesday morning near downtown. The crash was reported in the 200 block of Robert B.

Five judges at Britain's highest court were considering the case, which seeks to clarify whether a transgender person with a gender recognition certificate that recognizes them as female can be regarded as a woman under equality laws.While the case centers on Scottish laws, the campaign group bringing the challenge, For Women Scotland , has said its outcomes could have U.K.-wide consequences for sex-based rights as well as everyday single-sex services such as toilets and hospital wards.
Scottish officials then issued guidance stating that the definition of “woman” included a transgender woman who has a gender recognition certificate.“Not tying the definition of sex to its ordinary meaning means that public boards could conceivably comprise of 50% men, and 50% men with certificates, yet still lawfully meet the targets for female representation," the group’s director Trina Budge said.
“Our position is your sex, whether you are a man or a woman or a girl or a boy is determined from conception in utero, even before one’s birth, by one’s body,” he said on Tuesday."It is an expression of one’s bodily reality. It is an immutable biological state.”
