The UK's highest court in April confirmed the terms "woman" and "sex" in the 2010 Equality Act "refer to a biological woman and biological sex".

It was interpreted to mean transgender women can be excluded from women-only spaces such as toilets and changing rooms.

But parts of the public sector, such as hospitals, universities and Government departments, have still failed to implement it.
