Sex Matters is preparing to take legal action against the City of London Corporation over its policy allowing transgender women access to the Kenwood Ladies' Pond. The group argues the policy violates the Equality Act 2010, citing a Supreme Court ruling that defines women in a way that excludes transgender women with gender recognition certificates from single-sex spaces. After requesting the corporation align its policies with the law, it received a response denying that the Ladies' Pond qualifies as a single-sex service. The corporation is reviewing its policies following the ruling.
Sex Matters argues that the policy allowing transgender women to use the Kenwood Ladies' Pond breaches the law, referencing a Supreme Court ruling on the definition of women under the Equality Act 2010.
The ruling states transgender women with gender recognition certificates can be excluded from single sex spaces like toilets and refuges if it serves a legitimate aim of safety and privacy.
