Description:

Judges at the Supreme Court are considering how women are defined in law in a landmark case brought by Scottish campaigners.

It is the culmination of a long-running legal dispute which started with a relatively niche piece of legislation at the Scottish Parliament, but which could have big UK-wide implications.

It will set out exactly how the law is meant to treat trans people, and what it really means to go through the gender recognition process.

And it could have implications for the running of single-sex spaces and services, and how measures aimed at tackling discrimination will operate in future.
