The UK Government cannot change court judgements but can 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 Ruling is unenforceable without violating the privacy of cis and transgender people. It has set a dangerous precedent and has failed to explain what will happen to people who are intersex. The term ‘biological woman’ is flawed. It leaves a lot of questions like are transgender men expected to use the women’s restroom or compete in women’s sports despite having testosterone levels of a cis man?
