US EditionBarclays indicates it may ban trans women from women's toilets
- Barclays, under the leadership of Group CEO CS Venkatakrishnan, has announced it will prohibit trans women from accessing women's restrooms in response to a recent UK Supreme Court decision and subsequent guidance defining "woman" by biological sex.
- This decision follows the Supreme Court's determination that the definition of 'woman' is based on biological sex, along with related recommendations issued earlier this month by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
- Venkatakrishnan said the bank must comply with the law by not permitting trans women in female restrooms while striving to provide comfortable facilities and equal opportunities.
- He explained that in light of the Supreme Court decision, the company must adhere to the legal requirements by restricting access to women’s restrooms for transgender women, while still aiming to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for all staff members.
- Barclays' policy reflects wider UK organizations reviewing gender-based facility access and suggests ongoing adjustments as the EHRC develops a detailed code of practice by June.
