Ex-Olympian Sharron Davies has blasted the “ludicrous” delay to the publican of trans guidance in the wake of the Supreme Court’s trans ruling earlier this year.
Similarly, GB News host Camilla Tominey took aim specifically at the NHS, claiming that it was “dragging its feet” on the matter.
In April, the Supreme Court ruled that the term “women” refers to biological sex, rather than gender identity, leading to mass disgruntlement across Britain within the pro-trans community.
But the Government is still yet to publish official guidance on the key decision, leaving women’s rights campaigners up in arms over what this means for the safety of Britain’s women and girls.
Speaking to Ms Davies about the matter, Camilla said: “The clue is in the name Supreme Court. That’s the judgment.
“They’ve had eight months now to decide how to play this. It’s very, very clear. It’s defining trans women as men, basically, and saying biological sex must reign supreme.
“Then you look at other organisations, for instance, the NHS. In general, we’ve had the NHS dragging their feet on this, still seemingly waiting for guidance to make the case as well.”
The ex-swimmer added: “What’s frustrating is that women are having to crowdfund to raise the money to fight national bodies like the NHS, who are using the taxpayer’s money to fight to break the law.”

She continued: “This is the most ridiculous situation ever – that women can’t get our Government to stand up and apply the law.
“One at a time, we are trying to take these organisations – the Women’s Institute, the Girlguiding – that was brought by individual women and by parents of young girls saying we need you to protect this organisation.
“Then we’ve got the people who own these organisations who run them apologising for the fact that they’re protecting young girls.
“I mean, it is a ludicrous state of affairs that we’ve got ourselves into and the Government needs to step up.”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
The widely-anticipated guidance will be drafted for businesses up and down the nation to understand and enforce the provision of single-sex services, like changing rooms and toilets.
But last month Women’s and Equalities Minister Bridget Phillipson claimed she was “taking the time to get this right” after being accused of postponing the publications intentionally.
However, in a leaked version of the guidance, Ms Davies said: “It categorically says that sport must be run by biological sex.
“And any sport that’s not doing that is actually guilty of indirect sex discrimination. So be wary because in the new year, I will be coming for you.”
Earlier today, Table Tennis England announced that trans women will not be allowed to take part in women’s competition from August 2026.
The eligibility rules are being revised to abide by the Supreme Court’s ruling, and the fresh sporting policy will apply to competitions overseen by the national governing body.
In response to the news, Ms Davies roared: “So it’s unlawful to have men in women’s competition.
“It was always unlawful and still women have to wait till next August for table tennis (or any other sport breaking the law) to abide by the law?!”
