Just a few days later, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) - which oversees the enforcement of equality law - published interim guidance that recommended service providers bar trans men and women from single-sex services and facilities that align with their gender and adding in "some circumstances" transgender people could also be barred from spaces based on "biological sex".

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

Other universities including Edinburgh, Southampton, Bath and Nottingham have also yet to publish updated guidance on the issue.
