The decision by the UK Supreme Court on this case, along with the subsequent revised guidance issued by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission that followed on from it, appears to put the United Kingdom in breach of its international human rights obligations. The revised interpretation of the Equality Act 2010 seems to be incompatible with Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (as per Christine Goodwin v United Kingdom). This would also imply that the revised interpretation of the Equality Act 2010 is legally incompatible with the Human Rights Act 1998.
As a person who is both trans and intersex, I do not currently find it obvious how to navigate what I can and cannot do, or where I can and cannot go. This is very frustrating. Different people also give me different advice when asked, which makes it hard to be sure what the law currently expects me to do.
I strongly suspect this will end up going back to Strasbourg. In the meantime, my intention is to try to avoid situations which may cause unintended controversy.
