Sajid Javid: NHS should follow ruling that allows trans bans in female-only spaces

The Telegraph  

The EHRC listed hospital wards, lavatories, changing rooms and women’s refuges among spaces where they could limit access based on someone’s biological sex if it “is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim”. A senior Government source on Thursday night told The Telegraph: “The Health Secretary welcomes this guidance from the EHRC and will be asking the NHS to take it fully into account as part of the review into same-sex wards.” Mr Javid has made a number of interventions in the heated debate in recent days, including saying that sport should be based on sex not gender and urging caution on banning conversion therapy for trans people. However, “Annex B” in the NHS’s 2019 policy on eliminating mixed-sex wards states that trans patients should be accommodated according to the gender with which they currently identify. Bev Jackson, a co-founder of the LGB Alliance which was among the groups to raise concerns, said on Thursday night that they were “delighted to hear Sajid Javid’s intervention in support of single-sex wards”.
