THE head of Barclays has confirmed that the bank will bar trans women from using women’s toilets in the wake of a recent Supreme Court ruling.

Group chief executive CS Venkatakrishnan told reporters on a media call: “Following the Supreme Court ruling … we believe that we have to comply with that by not allowing trans women to use female bathrooms.

“We strive in every way to make the appropriate facilities available in a comfortable way for people to use and to provide equality of opportunities and development.”
