It is politicians – not regulators – who must make sense of the supreme court’s gender ruling | Gaby Hinsliff

The UK supreme court ruling on what makes a woman in the eyes of the law was hailed as a turning point in the battle over transgender rights.

But instead, the waters are getting muddier with every passing week.

Kishwer Falkner , chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission , was grilled by the women and equalities select committee.

Law that doesn't work in real-life scenarios is a law that doesn’t work, full stop.

Falkner suggested it would be “wise for space to be given to the regulator” to handle this in other words, that parliament should back off some Labour MPs.
