Question

How many genders does the Welsh Government recognise?

Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality (Sioned Williams)

There is no legal definition of gender in the Equality Act 2010; the Supreme Court judgment relates to the interpretation of “sex” in the Act.
