British employers can allow trans women to use female changing rooms despite a landmark ruling on the definition of a woman under equality laws, but alternative solutions may be necessary where complaints are raised, a tribunal said on Monday.

Transgender rights have become highly politicised in Britain and elsewhere as broad advances in LGBT rights have triggered a backlash among social conservatives and some feminists.

An employment tribunal said in a summary of its judgment that a recent decision by the UK Supreme Court – which said that only biological women meet the definition of women under the UK's Equality Act – did not make it "inherently unlawful" for a trans woman to use a female changing room.

The tribunal also ruled, however, that workplaces permitting someone to use the changing room of their reassigned gender was not necessarily lawful either, raising the prospect of future legal disputes.

It is illegal to stop someone from using the ladies' room.

Who is steering this boat?

Hmmm
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a dichotomy.

Still waiting the result of "Good law projects" appeal against the high court ruling. It's all gone quiet for a while.

This is a classic case of a ruling made without adequate consultation and now all the cracks are appearing.
