Sex Matters, a group advocating for single-sex rights, has appealed a High Court decision on access to Hampstead Heaths bathing ponds. The group argues that the City of London Corporations policy, allowing trans men and women to use any pond, violates the Equality Act by discriminating based on sex. The case centers around the Highgate Mens Pond, Kenwood Ladies Pond, and a mixed bathing area. Sex Matters claims the policy infringes on womens privacy and dignity. The City of London Corporation maintains that the groups challenge is premature, as a public consultation recently concluded with 86% support for keeping the trans-inclusive rules. Sex Matters is pushing back on the courts rulings about their standing to sue and the timing of the claim, while the corporation vows to fight the appeal.
