At present it is not against the law to refuse to serve a transsexual person in a pub or restaurant, or refuse to rent property based on the tenant's gender identity.

While the 2006 Equality Act protects people from discrimination on the grounds of gender, and a directive means public bodies have to actively promote gender equality, including that of transsexual people, this is limited to jobs and training.
