Why Sex Matters is calling for clarification of the Equality Act 2010 – a briefing

Sex Matters has launched a petition calling on the government to clarify that in the Equality Act 2010, “sex” means biological sex, and is not modified by the Gender Recognition Act 2004.

This would protect the rights of people of both sexes, as well as people who identify as transgender. This briefing explains why we are calling for this clarification of the law.
