What Is Gender Reassignment Discrimination?
Gender reassignment discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because they are transitioning, have transitioned, or are planning to transition. This type of discrimination is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010, which protects individuals undergoing gender reassignment.
Forms of discrimination include:
- Direct Discrimination: Being treated less favourably because of gender reassignment.
- Indirect Discrimination: Workplace policies or practices that disadvantage transgender employees.
- Harassment: Unwanted behaviour that creates a hostile or offensive environment.
- Victimisation: Being treated unfairly for making a complaint or supporting someone else’s complaint.
If you’ve faced any of these, we’re here to help you take action.
