The equalities watchdog has concluded that transgender people can be legally excluded from single-sex spaces in certain scenarios if there is ‘a sufficiently good reason’.
The first guidance of its kind has been issued by the Equality and Human Rights Commission
But the Equality and Human Rights Commission has been criticised by LGBTQ+ organisation Stonewall which warns the advice will likely lead to more confusion and a greater risk of illegal discrimination. Another hypothetical example of the Equality Act being interpreted is the organisers of a group counselling session for female victims of sexual assault banning trans women ‘if they feel those attending are likely to be traumatised by the presence of a person who is biologically male’.
Every person should be treated with dignity and respect and there is ‘no place for discrimination against anyone based on their sex or gender reassignment’, the guidance states. A Stonewall spokesman has blasted the guidance, saying it appears to contravene the core presumption of the Equality Act – inclusion – and shifts the focus onto reasons for excluding trans people.
