Completely agree MrsOvertonsWindow.
And whilst all the activists are busy on Twitter saying how awful the Sandie Peggie case is, because they don't pay attention to the news properly (only what comes up on their social media feed) this has largely slipped under the radar.
If the Sandie Peggie case goes the way I'm anticipating and there is a comment about unwritten policy being completely biased and led by activists and an example of this is saying you are an ally in your email signature, that both backs up the judicial review about policing and the statutory guidance for schools.
It puts the government in a position where they just have to suck it up because it's going to be exceptionally difficult to change the law about the equality act and biological sex at that point precisely because it is so contentious.
The only roads open then are expanding self id (which again has massive political issues and still would be restricted by sex - it's not something popular with the public) and the way this is moving, enforced pronouns are likely to be binned off at some point which renders much of the attraction null and void.
Or to look at making everything gender neutral which is actually indirectly discriminatory to women and more significantly to disabled people. That's also going to get challenged in court eventually if that happens. And this is where women need to be most aware and keep their eyes on.
The only other route available to activists is to escalate to the ECHR, if they can find a suitable case. At the moment there isn't really one that obviously will reach the threshold to be referred that far. And even if they do, the timescale is so long you are likely to see the negligence claims starting to bite as well as medical studies really starting to raise so serious questions.
If they do manage to escalate to the ECHR against that backdrop, given the current political climate, the government may well be Reform and they may well choose to ignore the ruling (there's precedence for this from other member countries) or try to pull use out of the ECHR using it as leverage.
This is effectively a game of chess and the activists are starting to rapidly lose significant pieces and are in a game of check where theres really only one long term outcome.
It's going to take a good while yet, but you can see how things are slowly closing down in terms of other protected characteristics being ignored because gender reassignment has trumped everything and everyone else.
Equality is by definition not seeing this bullshit because it's seamless within society. And there is wide public consensus that things are fair.
