Will there be a judgement? I thought this hadn't gone to full JR (that would have been Thursday).
Have the ONS backed down because they don't want a full JR? Whatever, it does mean that these organisations are going to have to look very carefully at unreliable advice giving way to unsafe actions
I wondered this too. More specifically that I had hoped the final judgment would go further and specify that sex means sex and not legal gender from a GRC.
I am, of course, delighted that FPFW won. But if the definition of sex has now officially changed to include the legal fiction of GRC, then it becomes essential that self-ID never comes to pass.
Otherwise the work done here will need to be done again, and at that point will be much more difficult as the precedent will be set.
I am slightly worried that the ONS has done this in order to cement the compromise position and not risk the possibility of being forced to record sex wholly accurately.
