Campaigners in court win over 'woman' definition. And I'm very pleased to hear this! The Court of Session ruled that the definition in the Gender Representation on Public Boards Scotland Act 2018 could only cover biological women. Trina Budge, a director at For Women Scotland, said she was “delighted” to have won the appeal but criticised politicians for allowing the flawed legislation to pass in the first place. Well done to #ForWomenScotland fighting for the rights of 'actual women' and winning this important appeal! #Scotland #BiologicalWomen #Trans https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-60435954
