Thank you for contacting me about the Equality Act and transgender rights.
The Equality Act 2010 provides protection against discrimination, harassment and victimisation across a number of grounds. I can assure you that the Government is committed to upholding the country's long-standing record of protecting the rights of individuals against unlawful discrimination.
I understand that the Government will keep any potential change to provisions in the Act under review. Transgender people, including those who are going through the process to change their legal sex, deserve our respect, support and understanding - the Equality Act provides this protection through the use of protected characteristics.
