<p>The Equality Act 2010 includes a clear legal definition of transgender discrimination.
Under the Act a person has the protected characteristic of gender reassignment if
that person is proposing to undergo, is undergoing or has undergone a process (or
part of a process) for the purpose of reassigning the person's sex by changing physiological
or other attributes of sex. For the purposes of the Act, somebody with this protected
characteristic is known as a transsexual person and in general cannot be treated differently
for being transsexual.</p><p>The government will publish its response to the GRA consultation
in due course, which will take into account any changes to legislation that may be
necessary.</p>
