The UK Conservative Party plans to amend the Equality Act to define "biological sex" and potentially exclude transgender women from female-only spaces.

The UK Conservative Party plans to amend the Equality Act to define "biological sex" as the protected characteristic, stating this will help protect women's and girls' rights and prevent confusion about access to female-only spaces. The change could lead to transgender women being barred from such spaces. The party claims that the current Equality Act has not kept pace with evolving interpretations of sex and gender.
