So I was looking through our companies 'Trans Gender Policy and spotted the following things:
Trans is an umbrella term to describe people whose gender is not the same as, or does not sit comfortably with, the sex they were assigned at birth
The Equality Act 2010 (‘the Act’) states that it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee, job applicant or contractor on the grounds of that person’s sex, or their gender reassignment, or because they are married or in a civil partnership. Sex and gender reassignment are two of the ‘protected characteristics’ covered by the Act.
A trans person legally has the right to access ‘men-only’ and ‘women-only’ areas according to their gender identity. Ideally there should be access to gender neutral toilet facilities wherever this can be reasonably accommodated. Requiring the person to use accessible toilet facilities is not acceptable unless the individual is disabled.
Cisgender or CIS - Someone whose gender identity is the same as the sex they were assigned at birth. Non-trans is also used by some people.
I think I would like to challenge this if it isn't correct, any help or ideas on where I go from here?
