Toilet access should follow biological sex but trans people still need facilities, UK watchdog says
"The EHRC has asserted that trans women should not have access to women-only facilities and vice versa for trans men, ensuring biological sex is recognized."
"The UK Supreme Court ruling clarifies 'woman' and 'sex' as biological terms in the Equality Act, impacting facility access for trans individuals."
The UK's Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has issued interim guidance stating that trans individuals should not be placed without facilities following a Supreme Court ruling defining 'woman' and 'sex' in biological terms. Trans women should be excluded from women's facilities, and trans men from men's facilities, creating clarity on facility access while ensuring alternatives for trans individuals are considered. This guidance affects schools, sports clubs, and public spaces, marking a significant stance in the ongoing discourse about sex, gender identity, and access rights in the UK.
