Fourteen national LGBTQ+ charities have urged Keir Starmer for an urgent discussion about the implications of the UK Supreme Court's ruling, which restricts the definitions of woman and sex to biological terms. This decision reportedly leads to a ban on trans individuals accessing facilities that align with their gender identity, raising concerns about rights and dignity for trans people. The charities argue that the ruling and subsequent updates from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission have generated confusion and contradict UK obligations under human rights laws.
The judgment turns previous understanding of the Equality Act completely on its head, creating a legal framework that cannot uphold the dignity, protection and respect of trans people.
The leaders of fourteen LGBTQ+ charities have sought an urgent meeting with Keir Starmer to address immediate concerns regarding the rights and inclusion of trans people.
