Supreme Court: 'Woman' in UK law means biological sex.
The outcome could affect sex-based rights in Scotland, England and Wales.
The UK Supreme Court rules that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.
Today's decision comes after a long-running legal battle between the Scottish government and a women's group.
The Scottish government had argued that transgender people with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) are entitled to sex-based protections, while For Women Scotland argues they only apply to people that are born female.
The ruling could have far-reaching implications across Scotland, England and Wales.
