"The Equality and Human Rights Commission is expected to submit guidance banning transgender people from single-sex facilities, potentially excluding them even from spaces aligning with their assigned sex at birth."
"A legitimate aim for excluding a trans person from a single-sex service is to prevent alarm or distress for other service users, according to the new policy."
The Equality and Human Rights Commission plans to implement guidance that would restrict transgender individuals from accessing single-sex facilities based on their gender identity. This policy could impact access to restrooms and changing rooms within various public service organizations including schools and hospitals. A specific provision allows for exclusion even from spaces that align with a trans individual's biological sex, should the service provider argue it prevents distress or alarm for others. The decision follows a U.K. Supreme Court ruling regarding the legal status of trans women.
