Supreme Court ruling has dire consequences for trans people, campaigners warn

Campaigners have warned the UK Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of a woman could have "dire consequences" for the safety of trans people.

Scottish Greens MSP Maggie Chapman told BBC Scotland News the trans community is now worried that "people are coming after their right to exist" as a result of the ruling.

And Kerrie Meyer, who had gender reassignment at the age of 72, criticised the ruling and said it would set back progress for trans people.

Judges unanimously ruled on Wednesday that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.
