flag London proposes restricting trans access to gendered swimming ponds post-Supreme Court ruling.

flag The City of London Corporation has launched a consultation on restricting transgender access to gender-segregated swimming ponds at Hampstead Heath, following a Supreme Court ruling that trans women are not legally defined as women. flag The proposal, driven by pressure from the group Sex Matters, includes options to ban trans people from facilities aligned with their gender identity, though current access allows use of either gender-specific or mixed ponds. flag Critics call the move discriminatory, citing decades of safe use and the difficulty of determining sex assigned at birth by appearance. flag The consultation seeks public input while balancing legal, equality, and safeguarding concerns, with no final decision yet made.
