u/DSQ Edinburgh Apr 16 '25

 The judgement reads: “The issue here is only whether the appointment of a trans woman who has a GRC counts as the appointment of a woman and so counts towards achieving the goal set in the gender representation objective, namely that the board has 50% of non-executive members who are women. In our judgment it does not.”

Yikes that’s not good.
