The focus of this episode is on the recent decision in the Employment Tribunal in the case of Taylor v Jaguar Land Rover. We look at whether the Claimant is effectively protected from discrimination because she identified as gender fluid by section 7 of the Equality Act 2010 which requires an individual to be "undergoing a process" of gender reassignment. We go on to discuss the key take-aways from this case and how many employers need to 'up their game' in respect of gender identity in the workplace.
