Service providers need to be aware of the liability risk of operating mixed sex facilities where women are in a heightened state of vulnerability or a state of undress. It’s lawful to provide single-sex facilities for changing, showering, and sanitary use.

I spoke to the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning about the Sandie Peggie judgment and what it means for employers. I’m a bit under the weather so forgive the hoarse voice and the error: an appeal would go to the Employment Appeal Tribunal first not the Court of Appeal:

Today is the publication day of Sex, Gender Identity and the Law! To coincide with this, the Faculty of Law and Keble College, Oxford, have put together videos exploring themes from the book. This is the final video on the law relating to gender-critical belief. If you’re in Oxford next Thursday, 14 May, come along to the book launch event. I’m delighted to be joined by Akua Reindorf KC, Sarah Vine KC, Margaret Gribbon, and Dr Julius Grower for what promises to be a great conversation about the book.

Under the Equality Act, the default position is that services must be open to everyone. If you want to discriminate to separate provision, you need to rely on a specific exception to do so. There are exceptions for single-sex services, but they need to be provided based on biological sex for the exception to apply

A clip from my live yesterday recapping Peggie v NHS Fife before we resume next week for closing submissions. Here I address why only one person objecting to sex based harassment does not defeat the claim. One person is enough if the conduct was harassing:

Following For Women Scotland, some commentators argued that if single-sex services were based on biological sex, it would be unlawful to have male cleaners in the female toilets or for mothers to bring their young sons to the toilet. In GLP v EHRC, the High Court dismissed this:
