The UK Prime Minister has urged public agencies to implement a recent Supreme Court ruling that excludes transgender individuals from facilities aligned with their gender identities. This decision, made by the court in April, has implications for the access of trans people to various services, including restrooms and shelters. Keir Starmer emphasized the need for swift adherence to the ruling at a NATO summit. The decision has been met with opposition from LGBTQ+ advocates and organizations, and its immediate effects are being felt in institutions like the Football Association.
"We've accepted the ruling, welcomed the ruling, and everything else flows from that, as far as I'm concerned," Starmer said.
The country’s Equality and Human Rights Commission issued guidance shortly after the ruling that banned trans people from single-sex facilities - in some cases, even those that match their sex assigned at birth.
