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.
Dr Louise Harvey-Golding and Dr Sue Robson’s 2019 research report is based on a survey and focus groups with English organisations providing services to women and girls. They explore the need for single-sex provision for women and girls and the difficulties providers face.
