00:00The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010
00:08refer to a biological woman and biological sex.

00:19at the expense of another.

00:32not only against discrimination through the protected characteristic of gender reassignment,
00:40but also against direct discrimination, indirect discrimination and harassment.
