A UK Government spokesman said the ruling by the court gave 'clarity and confidence' for women

Chief Executive of the LGB Alliance Kate Barker has marked the "beginning of the end" of trans ideology in Britain's institutions following a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Following a challenge on the issue by For Women Scotland, Lord Hodge declared that a woman is defined in law by "biological sex".


Delivering their verdict on the decision, a UK Government spokesman said it gave "clarity and confidence", both for women and for those who run single-sex spaces.

Following the decision, British Transport Police has announced an update to their strip search policy to align with the court's ruling.

Trans officers within the organisation are no longer able to conduct intimate searches of women, GB News revealed earlier.

Discussing the British Transport Police's announcement on GB News, Kate Barker of the LGB Alliance claimed it is "brilliant news" in light of the ruling, and hopes other organisation will "unwind" on current policy "very quickly".

Barker stated: "It's brilliant news to hear about the British Transport Police, and I think this is exactly what's going to happen, that some of the things that are happening within these organisations, big institutions particularly like the NHS, are simply indefensible in light of this very sober ruling by the Supreme Court.

"They were absolutely clear, they went through the Equality Act line by line to defend the clarification that they were providing. It's not a change, it's just a clarification, and for most of us, common sense people will think obviously that's the case, but there's a real cohort of people who have a kind of a mushy understanding of what the Equality Act is, it's proved extremely beneficial to them."

Criticising public authorities such as the police and the NHS, Barker accused them of often supporting "bad actors" rather than biological woman in various scenarios.

Barker explained: "All of our institutions, like the police and the NHS, have ended up getting behind these bad actors, rather than behind women and behind same-sex attracted people.

"The capture of these organisations is so absolute, so I think it'll unwind maybe quicker than we than we had even hoped, and maybe we'll get everything that we wanted."

When asked by host Dawn Neesom if she believes that biological women are "owed an apology" from those who opposed gender-critical views, Barker said she "wouldn't hold her breath".

Barker told GB News: "I think we're owed one, but I'm not holding my breath, frankly. I think what will happen is what we've seen already, people pretending that they always meant that all along and that they were always in support of single sex spaces.

"And I suppose the two options - digging their heels in and refusing to go along with it, or just pretending they always thought that in the first place, I suppose the second option is better."

Highlighting what the ruling means for the trans community, Barker claimed that the decision will see the "end of the awful LGBTQ+ project" that has "driven everybody to madness".

Barker concluded: "I don't like that there's countless women who've really, really suffered through this, so I hope we don't forget those women and their efforts and their struggles.

"But I do think this is really the beginning of the end for this awful queer, LGBTQ plus inspired project, which has driven everybody to madness, frankly."
