Following a UK Supreme Court ruling that legally defines a woman by biological sex, the Equality and Human Rights Commission will issue a new statutory code of practice by summer. This guidance will clarify that trans women cannot access women’s sports or facilities based on their identity, while simultaneously affirming that trans individuals retain rights under existing legislation. Lady Kishwer Falkner stressed the importance of recognizing trans rights and protections against discrimination, asserting that legislation exists to safeguard these individuals.
We are going to have a new statutory code of practice that will be interpreted by courts as the law of the land. We're hoping for it by summer.
Only if you recognize that trans people exist, they have rights, and their rights must be respected, does it become a victory for common sense.
Trans people still had clear protection under legislation. They are covered through gender reassignment and they're also covered by sex discrimination.
If a trans person was fired, lost their employment because they happen to be trans, that would be unlawful, still absolutely unlawful.
