The Scottish Supreme Court's decision marks a crucial step in protecting women's rights by affirming that the term "woman" must remain defined by biological sex in the law. This helps to preserve women's access in key areas such as single-sex spaces, statistics and specific services.

It is essential to continue to defend these fundamental rights to guarantee the safety and recognition of each individual, while respecting the specificity of dedicated spaces.

Amy Hamm is a Canadian nurse. Finally. We should rather say was.

She was fired after 13 years of service by her employer, Vancouver Coastal Health, after being charged with professional misconduct by her professional college

His fault: having said publicly (and not in the context of her work) that sex was biological and that it could not be changed. In thirteen years of service, no patient has complained about the quality of care provided by Ms. Hamm. It was the complaints of activists that led to this legal saga.

She dared to talk about reality.

Under the guise of inclusion, the federal Department of Status of Women ended up excluding the ... Women. The next Prime Minister of Canada will have to correct the situation.

At the time of writing, the new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has abolished the Department of Status of Women. His missions continue, however. Steven Guilbault would oversee it. We understand that this decision is likely temporary.

The firm's thinness is justified by the trade war with the United States. That said, after a federal election, whether Pierre Poilievre or Mark Carney is elected, we believe it is imperative that a department deal with the status of women and gender equality.
