In this episode we unpack the UK Supreme Court’s recent judgment in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers—a landmark case that raises urgent questions about the legal definitions of ‘sex’ and ‘woman’ under the Equality Act 2010.

Joined by Dr Sandra Duffy (University of Bristol), Dr Surabhi Shukla (University of Sheffield), and Dr SJ Cooper-Knock (University of Sheffield), we explore the legal reasoning behind the judgment, its implications for trans and non-binary people, and how it intersects with both UK and international human rights law.

We also examine the role of the so-called ‘gender-critical’ movement, challenge prevailing myths around single-sex spaces, and reflect on what this ruling means for the future of gender equality and trans rights in the UK.

Whether you’re a legal professional, activist, or curious listener, this episode offers a rights-based perspective on where we go from here.
