... in the context of the 2010 Equalities Act.

Personal note:

This is a dangerous precedent that is already being used to justify banning trans women from women's bathrooms, and will likely allow male police / security to manhandle women to ascertain their gender. It will also put trans women at a further disadvantage for getting jobs, as if there wasn't enough stigma as is.

Get ready for the genital inspectors, more transpotting (like with that non-trans lady in the Olympics) and an increased amount of abuse of trans people.

There's a trend at some workplaces to force trans people to use the accessible toilets, however those have their own problems.

Not only will you out yourself by using them, but also it takes capacity away from disabled people who already only have one toilet to share between them at times.

That's why I like the individual toilets as standard. The only thing you out yourself as is someone who needs the toilet. Unfortunately though they require more space so they aren't common .
