- The British Medical Association’s resident doctors' wing has condemned the Supreme Court's ruling on biological sex as "scientifically illiterate" and harmful to transgender individuals.
- The ruling stated that trans women are not legally women under the Equalities Act, allowing their exclusion from single-sex spaces if deemed "proportionate".
- The BMA doctors argue against a binary divide between sex and gender, emphasising its lack of scientific basis and harmful impact.
- This follows the BMA's rejection of the Cass Review's findings on gender identity services and its call to lift the ban on puberty blockers for minors.
- The ruling has sparked debate and calls for the Equality and Human Rights Commission to withdraw its interim guidance on single-sex spaces, with concerns about potential breaches of trans people's rights and forced outing.
