SNP could look again at self-ID female lavatory policy.
Scottish Government’s permanent secretary says review will happen if two landmark legal rulings suggest it is unlawful.
The SNP government’s self-ID policy allowing trans civil servants to access female toilets will be reviewed if two landmark legal rulings suggest it is unlawful, Scotland’s most senior mandarin has said.
John-Paul Marks, the Scottish Government’s permanent secretary, expressed confidence that the policy allowing male-bodied trans employees “to use the facilities they feel most comfortable with” was legal. But he said the guidance would be looked at again following a forthcoming ruling in an employment tribunal in Scotland about the right of trans people to access female-only areas.
The UK Supreme Court will also shortly issue its ruling over the definition of “woman” and whether it includes a trans person with a gender recognition certificate. The Scottish Government’s lawyers argued during the case, which was brought by the feminist campaign group For Women Scotland (FWS), that Equality Act protections are capable of applying to a “pregnant man” who was born female.
