In the Equality Act, the protected characteristic of gender reassignment refers to anyone proposing to undergo, undergoing, or who has undergone a process (or part of a process) to reassign their sex by changing physiological or other attributes of sex.

The term trans is an umbrella term used to describe people whose gender is not the same as, or does not sit comfortably with, the sex they were assigned at birth. The Gender reassignment (Equality Act 2010) refers to a person who 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. A person who chooses to reaffirm their gender may do so by telling family and friends, changing formal documents or presenting differently and may not involve hormone therapy or surgery.
