The Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act should cause no confusion – the judgment is a model of clarity

[IwantToRetire]

For almost two years before this judgment, the EHRC called for the UK government and Parliament to consider redefining ‘sex’ in the Equality Act. To identify the potential implications of this change on all those affected, to debate the issue and find the best (least discriminatory) way forward.

But the unambiguous ruling of the Supreme Court has now clarified what the law is.

I beg every legislator to read the judgment in full. I regret any uncertainty among duty bearers and the public that has been fuelled by misunderstanding and distortion, particularly across social media.

The judgment is a model of clarity.

The law it sets out is effective immediately. Those with duties under the Equality Act should be following it and taking specialist legal advice where necessary.

By meaningless (and I have seen interviews with TW with a GRC saying this) that in law allow them to have bits of paper showing their status, but does not give them acess to women's services.

Which is what my post was about.

How is that groups that are service providers are talking about continuing to be trans inclusive when the EHRC guidelines make it clear that they cant be.

I wouldn't presume to comment on what having a GRC means to anyone who has one, or is working towards having one.
