The article focuses on three women – Ms. Calder, Ms. Smith, and Ms. Budge – who formed For Women Scotland in 2018. They successfully challenged gender recognition reforms in the UK Supreme Court.
Their primary concern was the ability for men to self-identify as women under the proposed reforms, believing this could negatively impact women's rights.
J.K. Rowling donated £70,000 to support their legal challenge. The women emphasized their determination, stating that opposition only strengthened their resolve.
The three women initially connected through Mumsnet, a parenting website, united by shared concerns regarding gender recognition reform.
