I suspect TRA's like Maugham and other failing legal bods will continue to argue that biological sex can't possibly apply to children in schools, men and women in the workplace and almost everywhere. Fingers crossed they'll ask the Supreme Court to rule on that as well.

They are not going to ask the Supreme Court to rule on anything.

I have some questions that may be relevant to the consultation. Is there any law saying that councils or shopping centres have to provide single-sex toilets to the public?

No.

Is there any law that shops, swimming baths, gyms have to supply single sex changing rooms?

No.

Crucially, is there any law saying that an icon or word denoting 'men' or 'women' has to apply to the biological sex?

Yes.

Thus can the above organisations run mixed-sex facilities and label them as men's or women's?

No.

If spaces are labelled for women, they are for biological women only. If men are allowed to use that space, it must be labelled as a mixed sex space.

That bit about the signs is good to know, but can you tell me which regulations state it?
