Overview

• Sex Matters chief executive Maya Forstater said the April decision defining 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act has overhauled the legal framework for Peggie’s harassment claim under Section 26.
• Peggie was suspended by NHS Fife after she refused to share a changing room with Dr. Beth Upton, leading her to lodge a sexual harassment and protected belief complaint at an employment tribunal.
• The tribunal, which opened in February, will reconvene in July with the ruling’s interpretation set to influence arguments on access to single-sex workplace facilities.
• Sex Matters warned the Scottish Government that it faces legal action if it does not adopt the Supreme Court’s definition of biological sex in equality laws for single-sex spaces.
• At Holyrood, Peggie met Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay and other politicians who criticized NHS Fife’s policies as unlawful before and after the Supreme Court’s judgment.
