    That’s not what the decision said, but JK and their ilk are trying to push it as that.

    Their decision is limited to what they believe was meant in the Equality Act 2010. It’s just them indicating what a law meant originally.
    A law that was written by people who didn’t know better.
    Now we know better, as the science is undeniable, but what we know now doesn’t change what the law meant. That’s why what the UK needs to do now is change the law to properly match science.

    Rowling and other flavors of transfobes want to muddle the waters and act as if everything was set in stone, but it isn’t.
    There have been amendments to the Equality act before, the latest in in 2023 and 2024, they can do more.

    Do not play into their game. Instead, push for change.
