The UK Government cannot change court judgements but could introduce new legislation about this. We already have a petition open calling for the Government to amend the Equality Act to define the terms woman and man not based on biological sex.

Background
The UK Supreme Court has decided the legal definition of a woman is a biological one. This is erasing trans people and makes it harder for trans people to have equal rights. This ruling protects nobody. The Supreme Court needs to re-evaluate with input from transgender people. This ruling only hurts the trans community, who didn't hurt anybody in the first place. This ruling needs to change to protect those who have done nothing wrong.
