0:00.0	It's Thursday, April 17, 2025.
0:08.0	I'm Albert Mowler, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
0:14.2	We should be thankful for any outbreak of sanity wherever it is found.
0:18.3	I'm thankful thus for a decision just handed down by the Supreme Court
0:22.0	in the United Kingdom that makes very clear that the definition of women in terms of that
0:27.5	country's equality act and non-discrimination act, it has to do with biological women.

1:28.7	came before the UK Supreme Court. That Supreme Court handed down a ruling just this week saying
1:34.9	that woman means biological female for the purposes of this law. Okay, this is really interesting.
1:46.8	Now, first of all, it is just reassuring that any court anywhere, not to mention a court of this authority, recognizes that biological definition of sex is
