Following the Supreme Court's decision in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers, 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex. The claimant's exclusion from female competitions was based on her biological sex, not gender reassignment, and thus does not constitute gender reassignment discrimination.
