I need to take up the issue of single sex accommodation with an organisation. They say they would have an obligation to a transgirl under the Equality Act 2010 to put them in with the girls albeit single rooms with showers will be available in this instance but still in the girls' section.
I want them to respect girls' rights to sex-segregated accommodation under the Equalities Act and think the transgirl should not be accommodated with the girls.
What I'm slightly uncertain about is the gender reassignment characteristic in the EA 2010. Could they argue that trans comes under that? We are talking teenage male child who identifies as a girl here, not anyone who has had surgery or with a GRC.
Can anyone advise? I might not be able to get back to this thread until tomorrow night so sorry if I don't reply until then.
