UK minister mulling law change to define sex as ‘biological’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:16:16 GMT

LONDON — Britain’s equalities minister is mulling a change to the law that would only allow women access to some same-sex spaces and sporting arenas on the basis of so-called “biological” grounds.Kemi Badenoch has been told that defining someone’s sex as “biological” could provide “greater legal clarity” on issues such as who accesses women-only hospital wards, and who can participate in certain sporting events.But it would also be “more ambiguous or potentially disadvantageous” in areas such as equal pay and sex discrimination. The advice came in a letter from Kishwer Falkner, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). Badenoch wrote to the commission in February requesting guidance on the “benefits or otherwise” of amending the definition of sex in the existing Equality Act. Falkner notes that under the Gender Recognition Act of 2004, “a person with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) b...

MEP Marc Tarabella swapped one set of bars for another. An unofficial group based at the European Parliament called the EP Beer Club booted out Tarabella, who was arrested, charged and detained in a corruption scandal dubbed Qatargate that’s rocked Brussels since December. According to an email from the group’s secretariat to POLITICO, the Beer Club’s president, Slovak center-right MEP Ivan Štefanec, sent Tarabella an email in January informing him that his membership was suspended.

He was arrested on February 10 and has been in prison ever since.The EP Beer Club has existed since 1995 and is not an official EU body, but is closely tied to the beer industry’s umbrella lobbying g...
