History-making decision, Britain's Supreme Court: Legally a woman only if

The UK's Supreme Court has made a historic decision. The justices unanimously upheld the biological definition of woman, excluding transgender women, even if they possess gender recognition certificates.

That is, from today in Britain, the law recognizes as women only those who were born biologically female, writes A2.

This marks the culmination of a long legal battle, which could have major implications for the application of gender rights in Scotland, England and Wales.

The court clarified that the decision should not be seen as a victory for one side against the other. It also underlines that the law continues to guarantee protection against discrimination for transgender people.

The case was brought to the High Court by the Scottish Women's Group, which sought a review of the government's interpretation of the Gender Equality Act 2010. (A2 Televizion)
