I understand that the SC ruling means that it has now legally always been the case that sex = biological sex in law. There are threads about things like prizes, sporting results etc. I just wondered if this can allow appeals or re-opening decisions that have been made over the past few years. For example, where a woman has lost her job or where she has been discriminated against through lack of facilities. For example, hypothetically, could I go back and claim discrimination and win for inadequate changing facilities at a gym. My own example, was the sleeper train where single women used to be put to share with other single women. The sleeper service told me that it was same gender and I did not book on that basis. The other example is the YHA where I did not book on that basis. In both cases I lost the option of a cheaper trip / stay because to save money I would run the risk of sharing with a male who had declared himself female.
But this is not a huge issue, others have faced much worse.
Any thoughts? Hopefully Sarah (RCrisis Brighton) and Sandie Peggie and the Darlington nurses will now get a future positive result, but I am wondering about past results.
Any legal thoughts?
