This paper will examine legally sanctioned discrimination through the comparative positions of transsexual people and cross-dressers at work in the UK. Transsexual people, it will be argued, enjoy protection through a European Directive transposed into the Sex Discrimination Act 1975; 1986, the more recent Gender Recognition Act 2004 and UK case law. Cross-dressers, conversely, can expect little legal protection through statutory provision and are adversely affected by the outcomes of case law on dress codes at work. Further, it will be suggested that men are left generally in a less favourable position than women with regard to their dress through this case law
