The Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has issued interim guidance following a UK Supreme Court ruling defining "woman" and "sex" as referring exclusively to biological sex. The guidance states that trans women, identified as biological men, should not access women's spaces, including hospitals, shops, and schools. While emphasizing the unchanged legal protections for transgender individuals, the EHRC clarified that having a Gender Recognition Certificate does not alter one's biological designation under the law. The commission also plans to provide guidelines on single-sex competitive sports in the future, recognizing the complexities of the ruling for various settings.
The EHRC's new interim guidance states that transgender women (biological men) should not use women's facilities, while addressing the need for trans individuals to have alternative options.
Following the Supreme Court ruling, the EHRC clarified that identifying as trans does not equate to a change in biological sex under the Equalities Act.
