I'm hoping that this ruling was made in an attempt to show that the current law is absurd
I have hope that a fundamental legislative change is in the works, but it needed the fuse to be lit by something stupid and hateful like this
From the comments from the judges it seems that they don't think the current shape of the law is good but they don't have the authority to apply a different interpretation (not surprising that British law is not inclusive). So it is up to parliament to change the law.
But it also sounds like Scotland has to change how they do things? Or make an additional law for Scotland that covers how they have been doing things so far.
I believe that Scotland was trying to build law off of the fact that transwomen counted as women under the equality act. But frankly this whole case has been blown up to cause outrage, and in the process what is actually going on has been badly reported on. So I might be wrong.
