Overview
- Nicola Sturgeon criticized the Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of 'woman' under the Equality Act 2010 as being 'massively overinterpreted.'
- Sturgeon stated that if the ruling makes trans lives 'almost impossible,' the law must change to address this issue.
- Baroness Hale clarified that the ruling does not prohibit gender-neutral facilities, a point Sturgeon referenced to argue against extreme interpretations of the judgment.
- For Women Scotland countered Sturgeon's remarks, claiming that misinterpretations of the ruling primarily come from trans activists, not the court's decision.
- Humza Yousaf, Sturgeon's successor, admitted the SNP mishandled its gender self-ID reforms, describing the approach as a 'mistake.'
