The Equalities Minister, Bridget Phillipson, responded to the UK Supreme Court's ruling regarding the legal definition of women based on biological sex. She stated that services, including toilets, should be accessed accordingly, and emphasized the need for safe and appropriate facilities for all, including trans individuals. The EHRC is set to provide further guidance to address these issues. Phillipson noted that many businesses offer gender-neutral options, suggesting a move toward unisex toilet provisions to accommodate diverse needs.
"The ruling was clear that provisions and services should be accessed on the basis of biological sex."
"The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) will be setting out additional guidance and a statutory code of practice... to access services that are safe and appropriate."
