To think all companies and organisation need this now? Sex matters: putting the Supreme Court ruling into practice.

[Felinnefine]

In lieu of EHRC guidance and government commitment…

Organisations up and down the country must now review their policies and training to assess and act on the risk that what they currently have is unlawful. If they take a common-sense approach that goes back to basics of ordinary words, they should not go wrong.

But many have taken bad advice, and a lot of emotive and misinformed claims are circulating already, leading to fear and confusion. Strong, clear guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and commitment from the UK and devolved governments, are urgently needed.

To help organisations understand the SC judgment and to take a legally compliant, common-sense approach, Sex Matters is today publishing a briefing that provides a summary of the judgment and practical advice for organisations.

Sadly I doubt captured organisations would listen to Sex Matters. This really needs to be enacted in law properly - the alternative is ad hoc lawsuits popping up over and over and a long and laborious process of enacting the judgement. I fear it’ll be the latter.

Actually that said, it may only take a few as case law is binding. So if one workplace loses a legal case in trying to force women to share facilities etc with transwomen, that decision would be binding in similar circumstances. Women shouldn’t be afraid to now exercise their rights through the judgement

Agreed. Women shouldn’t be afraid to now exercise their rights through the judgement.

Yes of course. But it does help any SNE’s etc in the mean time, people will be wondering what they can and can’t do.

As they state here - Strong, clear guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and commitment from the UK and devolved governments, are urgently needed.

Let’s hope that that is forthcoming.

The law was always the law. Nothing has really changed. It’s just a clarification. Sadly these sinister organizations didn’t care about women’s rights to begin with. They told us what they think of us. Why would they change now?

Because the law has been clarified.
