By Berny Torre in Harrogate

TEACHERS supported trans colleagues at the National Education Union’s (NEU) annual conference today, after Wednesday’s landmark Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of a woman.

Oldham delegate Laura Butterworth said: “We are a union for all women — what the hell is a biological woman?”
