Trans women to be banned from single-sex spaces under new equalities watchdog guidance
Transsexual women will be banned from one -sex public spaces under new guidance to be published by the UK’s equality Watchdog.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) will present the legal guidance of the British Supreme Court to the ministers this month this month, in response to the unanimous decision of trans women’s decisions that they are not legally women.
The new guidance seems to be similar to the temporary guidance published after the decision, which has been criticized by transfers as discriminatory and has legal difficulties against it.
Accordingly TimesGuidance will mean that trans women will be banned from areas such as women’s toilets and dressing rooms.
It is valid for any organization that serves the public, including schools, shops, hospitals, prisons, entertainment centers and government offices.
Private organizations or charities will be subject to guidance if they offer a public service, and transsexual people can be removed from one -sex sports competitions.
Ehrc told Times That the rules have not yet been completed, but that it will be “consistent with the law, as stated by the Supreme Court”.
The guidance will be presented to Bridget Phillipson, Minister of Women and Equality, who will approve if he thinks that he is in accordance with the law before he puts it in front of the parliament.
The trans rights campaignists criticized EHRC for discussing the decision and brought legal difficulties to the guard dog to interpret the law.
The good legal project is a group that initiates legal proceedings against EHRC, and argues that guidance is “going far beyond what Scotland requires women.
“This means a ban on a bath for trans people by violating the right to privacy in people’s daily lives.”
Following the reports that detailed the updated guidance of the guard, the good law project Executive Director Jo Maugham said: “The guidance of EHRC is subject to legal difficulty – a hearing is planned later – and a court will decide whether it is compatible with the equality law.
“Considering the evident hostility of guidance to the rights and dignity of trans people, we are sure that the commission will lose.”
Campaigns also criticized the EHRC’s consultation process and questioned how 50,000 responses could be analyzed so quickly.
The good legal project also wrote to EHRC and accused them of tak ignore the views of transsexual people for using artificial intelligence to categorize the responses.
Ehrc spokesman Independent: Uz We use a combination of approaches to analyze the answers to our consultation. We have assigned an external supplier to support us with more than 50,000 answers received.
Times The finalized guidance will not be able to say that services should provide one gender fields, but if they do it, it should be used only by biological women.
It is also reported that services will allow services to request birth certificates and ask questions about the sex of birth, but may be discriminatory if this is not delicate.
Guidance will also say that there is an alternative to the use of trans people, and that in cases such as toilets, it should be taken into consideration that quitting a trans person without facilities will not be proportional.
A spokesman said: “The application rules have not yet been finalized. We have received a very high response to the consultation and we are grateful to everyone who shares their feedback.
Uz We are trying to make these answers the idea they deserve, to analyze them, and we change the draft of the application code when necessary to make it as clear and useful as possible.
“However, our rules will remain consistent with the law, as stated by the Supreme Court.”
