The UK’s Supreme Court has ruled that “man”, “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 refer to sex, not self-ID or paperwork (gender-recognition certificates). This agreed with our legal interpretation. We have published new guidance and are in the process of updating our publications to reflect the judgment. We are also working to provide answers to the questions we're hearing from supporters and the media. We will publish these as soon as possible.

Sex Matters

Not-for-profit organisation set up in 2021 with a single mission: to re-establish that sex matters in rules, laws, policies, language and culture.

Executive director is Maya Forstater, who in 2019 took a case in the employment tribunal after losing her job for talking about sex-based rights. This led to a precedent-setting ruling that the everyday understanding of human sex as binary, immutable and important is a protected belief under the Equality Act.
