Transgender women are not legally considered women: The Supreme Court’s historic ruling that the definition of a woman is tied to “biological sex” may prevent transgender people from using single-sex places.

However, we advise against seeing this ruling as a victory for one or more social groups at the cost of another, added Lord Hodge. It isn’t “Transgender people are protected by.

The Equality Act from direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, and harassment based on their acquired gender, in addition to the protected characteristics of gender reassignment.”

“On the one hand, women, who make up half of the population, have campaigned for more than 150 years to have equality with men and to combat discrimination based.

On their sex,” he said, acknowledging the “strength of feeling on all sides” that underpins the argument. That work is still ongoing.
