"Facts Are Very Important!" | Equality Policies To Be Reviewed After 'Woman' Defined Legally
Trans women cannot use single-sex female toilets, changing rooms or compete in women’s sports, in light of a Supreme Court ruling, the head of Britain’s equalities watchdog said.
Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) chairwoman Baroness Kishwer Falkner said Wednesday’s ruling was “enormously consequential” and brought clarity, as she vowed to pursue organisations which do not update their policies.
The ruling that the terms woman and sex in the 2010 Equality Act “refer to a biological woman and biological sex” means transgender women with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) can be excluded from single-sex spaces if “proportionate”, the Supreme Court said.
