"Completely incoherent": UK court says trans people can use the bathroom at pubs but not at work - LGBTQ Nation

"the legal definition of a woman under the country's 2010 Equality Act is based on 'biological sex.'"

"Service providers should be 'guided by common sense and benevolence' rather than be 'blinkered by unyielding ideologies' when providing bathroom facilities, The Independent quoted one justice."

"The legal situation for trans people, employers, and service providers is now completely incoherent,"

Last year's ruling established that the legal definition of a woman under the UK's 2010 Equality Act is based on biological sex. The Equality and Human Rights Commission issued an interim code of practice that was widely criticized and later challenged in court. The Supreme Court ruled that workplaces must provide single-sex bathrooms on the basis of sex assigned at birth, which would prohibit trans employees from using restrooms matching their gender identity. The court also held that service providers may allow trans customers to use restrooms aligned with their gender. The resulting divergence prompted concerns that the legal situation is incoherent.
