Baroness Brenda Hale, the UK’s first female Supreme Court judge, criticized the misinterpretation surrounding the April ruling defining 'woman' under the Equality Act 2010 as 'biological women'. During the Charleston literary festival, she stated that the ruling does not inhibit the creation of gender-neutral spaces and asserted that it does not mandate services to define access based on biological sex. Hale expressed her frustrations towards the government's response to the judgment, emphasizing the lack of legal requirement for gender-specific facilities in the Act.
The recent Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act's definition of a woman has been misinterpreted, suggesting it does not oppose gender-neutral facilities.
Baroness Hale stated, 'There's nothing in this judgement that says you can't have gender neutral loos... despite the fact that there are people saying you can't do that.'
