flag UK withdraws single-sex guidance after Supreme Court ruling, pushes for updated rules.

flag The UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission has withdrawn its interim guidance on single-sex spaces, citing a Supreme Court ruling that defines "woman" and "sex" by biological sex. flag The EHRC is urging ministers to fast-track approval of updated statutory guidance, submitted in September, to prevent legal inconsistencies. flag The revised code, based on public consultations and intended to clarify access to facilities and sports, must be reviewed by ministers and laid before Parliament for 40 days. flag Critics, including transgender rights groups and the Council of Europe, warn it may enable discrimination, while the government says it is carefully reviewing the lengthy document. flag A High Court hearing on the interim guidance is set for November.
