The UK Supreme Court has made a landmark ruling this morning, backing the biological definition of women in the UK’s Equality Act.

Joining Kieran to react to this ruling is Laoise de Brún BL, CEO and Founder of The Countess and Karen Sugrue, Co-Chair for Mammies for Trans Rights and Psychotherapist and Sociology Lecturer in TUS Limerick.
