What the Equality Act says about Sex discrimination
The Equality Act 2010 says you must not be discriminated against because:
you are (or are not) a particular sex
someone thinks you are the opposite sex (this is known as discrimination by perception)
you are connected to someone of a particular sex (this is known as discrimination by association)
In the Equality Act, sex can mean either male or female, or a group of people like men or boys, or women or girls.
