The UK’s Supreme Court has ruled that “man”, “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 refer to sex, not self-ID or paperwork (gender-recognition certificates). This agreed with our legal interpretation. We have published new guidance and are in the process of updating our publications to reflect the judgment. We are also working to provide answers to the questions we're hearing from supporters and the media. We will publish these as soon as possible.

Advisory group

Our advisory group are people who believe that “sex matters in law and in life and it shouldn’t take courage to say so”.

They represent a wide range of personal and professional experiences in fields ranging from sport, politics, academia, law and the creative arts to business, healthcare and campaigning.

Advisory group members do not have responsibility for the organisation. They endorse the Sex Matters principles but beyond this they are a broad church of people with different beliefs, use of language and approaches to this debate. Views of advisory group members do not necessarily represent Sex Matters’ positions.
