This seems quite reasonable, it links to a more detailed paper.

What's the link to the article gardenbird48? I'd be interested in reading it and can do an archive link for it too.

ooh fab, thanks Fleegle - that will come in handy.

Here you go Betsy - the author's name rings a bell. www.peoplemanagement.co.uk/experts/legal/gender-reassignment-discrimination

It includes a paragraph about toilets and gender expression which unfortunately doesn't mention exemptions (I guess because it is focusing on avoiding claims re. discrimination on the basis of Gender reassignment and not avoiding Sex discrimination claims where a female has no provision of same sex facilities) but the Case Law section was the interesting part.

Can any legal peeps explain comparators to me (for discrimination purposes) with examples - I've almost got my head around it but it is a bit slippery atm and google is no help.

so, there are very few cases of discrimination being brought on the basis of Gender Reassignment. There could be a number of reasons for that which include: the lack of discrimination taking place; the lack of access to justice for people suffering such discrimination.
If it was the second reason, presumably Stonewall have the financial resources and legal muscle to facilitate action/investigate barriers but have decided not to.
Presumably, anyone looking at updating the law (obviously Maya makes a good proposal but I am now of the view that a short bc is not helpful to either side) to help avoid discrimination on the basis of Gender Reassignment would start by looking at some cases that have been brought and then if they are thin on the ground, then maybe investigate if there are any barriers to bringing claims? Maybe Stonewall could advise? Either there are few claims or Stonewall are refusing to help - maybe they could be asked to provide some concrete evidence that discrimination is taking place.

Thanks gardenbird48

The article doesn't start out well: "section 7 of the Equality Act 2010 protects anyone who is transgender". Well, no it doesn't. It only protects transsexuals, not anyone else such as non-binary or cross-dressers, who come under the transgender umbrella.
