The council said it would be developing guidance for the use of changing rooms and toilets at leisure facilities. A small protest was held outside the council building in Enniskillen by Omagh Pride ahead of Tuesday night's meeting in support of the transgender community. The meeting was also told that no formal decisions have been made and the council will be reviewing its policies in light of the judgment. It said it will wait for Equality Commission's guidelines that are set to be published in June. Last month, the UK's highest court ruled the terms 'woman' and 'sex' in the 2010 Equality Act 'refer to a biological woman and biological sex'. The case was brought against the Scottish Government by the campaign group For Women Scotland. Want a quick and expert briefing on the biggest news stories?
