The BBC has reported that a tower block is scheduled to open next summer catering exclusively to women.
does their policy also discriminate against women who have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment?
Yes! I'll add that in.
Thanks Michael.
It is amazing that organisations (and the BBC reporting this story) *still* do not understand the Equality Act!
I'm bemused by the exclusion of 'men who cross dress'. I imagine they would claim pc of gender reassignment.
What is doing the work here is not gender reassignment; it’s race.
It should read it's sex.
Thanks Michael. You’re always quick on the draw! Looks like Women’s Pioneer Housing are in a pickle and it will be mixed sex and exclude trans men. Litigation beckons!
Thanks for this, Michael.
What a bonkers policy!!!!
Have cross posted.

and see the Skrmetti judgment BTW!!
We are not yet the 51st state of the USA. Skrmetti judgment is outside UK jurisdiction
That wasn't related to Michael's piece but just telling people about Skrmetti in case they hadn't caught up with it.
