TRANSGENDER people have been left with “less rights” following the publication of the UK equalities watchdog’s guidance on single-sex spaces, an advocacy group has said.

On Thursday, the UK Government published the long-awaited guidance from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which banned trans women from using female toilets, changing facilities and sports teams.
