The Green Party has condemned the interim guidance on single-sex spaces issued by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), labeling it as "ill-considered and impractical". This guidance, prompted by a UK Supreme Court ruling defining a woman by biological sex under the Equality Act, restricts trans women from using women's facilities. The Green Party leadership argues that the guidance fails to protect trans individuals from discrimination. While the UK government supports the ruling for providing clarity, skepticism remains over the guidance's enforcement and the implications for trans rights in public spaces.
Carla Denyer criticized the EHRC's interim guidance, asserting that it was "rushed and ill-thought out," showing a disregard for trans people's perspectives and needs.
The UK government's reaction was to welcome the Supreme Court ruling as providing "clarity" for women and service providers, signaling potential updates in policy compliance.
