The UK Supreme Court's ruling in April asserted that the 2010 Equality Act defines sex as biological, which excludes transgender women. Legal expert Dr. Claire Bradley contends that the justices interpreted the equality law incorrectly, providing an overly optimistic view of the ruling's impact on trans rights. The judgement has been used by groups like the Equality and Human Rights Commission to suggest exclusionary practices, sparking public protests against these interpretations and demonstrating widespread opposition to the ruling's implications.
The Supreme Court justices were unduly optimistic in assuming that its judgement wouldn't cause problems for trans people, as the ruling centered on biological definitions.
The judgement has been used by various groups to recommend the exclusion of trans people from public spaces, demonstrating the broader implications of the ruling.
Dr. Claire Bradley argues that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the 2010 Equality Act and relied on outdated gender definitions from the Sex Discrimination Act.
The backlash against the EHRC's draft guidance came from a demonstration across the country, indicating significant public opposition to the ruling's interpretations.
