1h 13min, may 9, 2025 y - Female Toilet Bans in Holyrood

Description:

Trans women will no longer be able to use the women's toilets in the Scottish Parliament building.

Facilities designated as male or female-only would now be interpreted as meaning biological sex, the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) said.

Holyrood is installing new gender neutral toilets which will be open to anyone following the UK Supreme Court's landmark ruling over the definition of a woman.

Presiding officer Alison Johnstone said the move would ensure "confidence, privacy and dignity" for staff and visitors.
