Keir Starmer has called for prompt action from public bodies to enforce the Supreme Court's recent ruling that limits trans individuals' access to single-sex spaces. The Supreme Court defined 'sex' strictly as biological sex, impacting the current legal understanding under the 2010 Equality Act. The EHRC subsequently recommended barring transgender individuals from facilities corresponding to their gender identity, reinforcing the ruling. Starmer asserts that all guidance must align with this outcome and highlights the importance of political leadership to address potential legal non-compliance by public bodies.
Starmer’s urging for public bodies to enforce the Supreme Court's gender ruling highlights a significant shift towards stricter policies regarding trans access to single-sex spaces.
The Supreme Court's ruling is considered a landmark decision that changes the legal definition of 'sex' under the 2010 Equality Act, thus impacting trans rights.
