Didlaw can reveal that the Claimant in the above case, heard in Leeds ET for 6 days from 23 March 2026, has been successful in her discrimination claims against NHS England.
The ET upheld the following claims:
- The Claimant’s complaint of indirect discrimination in relation to sex under section 19 Equality Act 2010 in relation to NHS England’s Trans Equality Policy and Trans Equality Procedure which permit trans colleagues to use toilets (and showers) that correspond with their gender identity rather than their biological sex;
- The Claimant’s complaint of harassment related to sex and gender critical beliefs as a result of NHS England’s Trans Equality Policy of permitting trans women to use female only facilities; and;
- The Claimant’s complaint of harassment related to her gender critical beliefs in that the Respondent’s Trans Equality Procedure had the effect of violating her dignity or creating the Proscribed Environment on the grounds of her gender critical beliefs.
Isn’t it funny how everyone used to know that and there was no need for tribunals to discover it all over again. Of course women don’t want to share public toilets and showers with men. That’s why separate facilities exist.
The Claimant is employed by NHS England, is female, Muslim and has PTSD. She also holds gender critical beliefs. Her claims were pursued relating to these characteristics. In October 2017 NHS England produced documents titled ‘Trans Equality Policy’ and ‘Trans Equality Procedure.’ These documents confirmed that trans colleagues could use the single-sex facilities that corresponded with their gender identity once they reached ‘full time presentation….in the new gender role.’
They had no right to do that. A new “gender role” doesn’t make a man a woman. It’s childish to pretend otherwise.
