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.

The Equality Act 2010 protects people with gender-critical beliefs in England, Scotland and Wales from being discriminated against at work, and as service users.

Sex Matters has produced guidance on common questions about sex and gender identity for employers, such as pronouns, toilets, data collection, and the provision of single-sex services.
