Here are some useful comments from a barrister friend on the SC Equality act ruling. I agree the next steps should be political. I feel that a lot of the value of a GRC has been lost so it is interesting to see he still thinks otherwise. I know GRC was not great anyway.

I don’t use this space for legal commentary, but today is a big one.
For what it’s worth, I think the SC got it wrong.
The GRA 2004 is clear: a recognition certificate gives that gender for all purposes.
That Act was meant to be a legal bridge — a way to integrate trans people fully into law.
