[from the ruling]: "It is fanciful (even perverse) to think that any reasonable objection to the presence of a person of the opposite sex could be grounded in (gender recognition certificate) GRC status or that a confidential GRC could make any difference at all."

[from a pal]: So, orgs who can't conduct biological sex checks (so, almost all of them outside medical settings) have basically no choice but to use SelfId

@cwebber kinda mix of "this is bad but it might backfire on the GCs and lead to self-ID (in Scotland) (if the Scottish gov has the guts to push for it)"

@cwebber the scotpol groupchat is pointing out it makes GRCs meaningless, and maybe makes the UK in breach of the ECHR 2004 ruling that brought in GRCs in the first place
