On the WI, trans members and discrimination in associations Introduction

New piece up! Looking at some of the legal issues raised by the @womensinstitute.bsky.social announcements about trans members. medium.com/@crash.wigle...

Gender reassignment discrimination and separate and single-sex services 13.57 If a service provider provides single- or separate sex services for women and men, or provides services differently to women and men, they should treat transsexual people according to the gender role in which they present. However, the Act does permit the service provider to provide a different service or exclude a person from the service who is proposing to undergo, is undergoing or who has undergone gender reassignment. This will only be lawful where the exclusion is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate.

Surprising to hear Akua Reindorf KC speak in such strong terms when the EHRC’s statutory code of practice, laid before Parliament in 2010 and issued in 2011, says that service providers should treat trans people according to the gender role in which they present. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

April’s Supreme Court decision is being treated as the final word.

But the judgment has introduced considerable uncertainty to the law, and some parts appear to set back the rights of trans people by over 20 years, says barrister @crash-w.bsky.social:

From @crash-w.bsky.social A powerful legal critique of the UKSC Decision. 'The judgment has jeopardised the UK’s compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights and introduced considerable uncertainty to the interpretation of the Equality Act 2010.’
