Are Trans Women Women Under UK Law? Why the debate deserves More than slogans

This article explores the complex and often polarising debate around whether Trans women are legally considered women under the UK Equality Act 2010. Written in the first person, it avoids taking sides and instead lays out the competing arguments — from those who believe gender identity should be legally recognised, to those who argue for the importance of sex-based protections. It looks at the potential consequences of both inclusion and exclusion, encouraging respectful discussion and thoughtful policy.
