The SC ruling didn’t even say that trans people had to be excluded from single-sex spaces, only that they could.
This is Lord Sumption’s take on it and he reckons the ruling has been misinterpreted. As a former Supreme Court judge, I’m happy to go along with that as he is an expert on interpreting and writing such judgements.
The speed with which some people have jumped on this and given their own, apparently wrong, reading of the law is worrying. Especially as one of them is Baroness Falkner who is threatening to write up “guidance” based on her misunderstanding of the judgement. Almost seems… opportunistic.

It’s 2025, and there are still people with titles like “Lord” and “Baroness” somehow
