The Equality Act 2010: A Double Edged Sword

The Equality Act 2010 was passed in 2010 as a 'tidying' of legislation. There are nine protected characteristics that you're not allowed to discriminate on the basis of, except when you need to. Sex is one of the protected characteristics and it means male or female. A lot of these places think that if you have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, your sex has changed. But actually, they're two separate characteristics.
