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 and Human Rights Commission is planning to release new guidance on single-sex services. We set out three questions and ten principles that it should base its guidance on – and explain why what’s needed are clear, simple rules in everyday language.
