The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps her Department is taking to ensure trans workers are not discriminated against on grounds of gender reassignment in the context of the High Court judgment in Good Law Project v EHRC [2026] EWHC 279 (Admin).

Answered by Olivia Bailey

We are grateful for the clarity from the High Court’s judgment. We are clear that the laws to protect trans people from discrimination and harassment remain in place. Trans people continue to be protected on the basis of gender reassignment – a protected characteristic written into the Equality Act.
