Conservative Party plans to amend the Equality Act to define the protected characteristic of sex as 'biological sex,' aiming to simplify decision-making for service providers focusing on women and girls' issues.
The proposed changes aim to address the confusion around sex and gender definitions, emphasizing the safety of women and girls in society, while still maintaining existing protections for transgender individuals.
Conservatives highlight the need for clarity in public authorities' understanding of the law, suggesting that the amendment will enhance protections for biological women in various settings like hospital wards and rape crisis centers.
