The supreme court ruling has clarified that ‘woman’ in the Equality Act 2010 means ‘biological woman’.

Reactions of public bodies have ranged from immediate revision of procedures, to total defiance of the ruling.

Some bodies who are not yet complying with the ruling say that they are waiting for further guidance.

Is this a generational issue with many young people supporting the elimination of sex based boundaries, while older people see a need for them.

Should we be concerned that some public bodies and organisations are flouting the law?  If so what, if anything, should we do about it?

The discussion will be started by Hilary Bichovsky, someone with a personal story in this field – although she doesn’t plan to dwell on that.

Instead our discussion will be an opportunity to reflect on the Supreme Court ruling, what’s happened since and what needs to happen – with plenty of opportunities for discussion and input from others.

Come and join the discussion

You are warmly invited to join us at the Welcome Inn, Bury Old Road, Whitefield, Manchester M45 6TA for our next meeting on Tuesday 25 November 2025.  This is a free event.  All are welcome.
