If only ideology had not blinded the administrators to reality, this need never have been at issue.
What people without axes to grind have seen with perfect clarity from the outset was denied and denied and denied and denied because people wanted to believe that sex was only a wrapper and not the product. This judgement says, no, sex is integral to the product.
Human beings are not a single product. We come in two types. Type X has two X chromosomes with all that follows from that. Type Y has one X and, crucially, one Y chromosome.
The composition of the products is not the same, and consequently the manufacturer’s instructions for safe and beneficial handling of the one product or the other is not identical. They share many similar characteristics but there are crucial differences, one of which is that Type X products (girls and women, if you need it spelling out) have different needs from Type Y products (men), even if the Ys do their utmost to present themselves as, and to convince others that indeed they are Xs (women).
They cannot change what they are, but only what they appear to be. And that is the fundamental reality that the trans lobby have to learn to live with.
This makes the judgement in both the Peggie and Kelly cases even more problematic. I hope the appeals come soon so that we have legal precedents and dear god can Bridget Phillipson get her finger out
Great, great, great news and lots of VERY HELPFUL language that can be used in other jurisdictions -- for example, in Canada, where the "whatever men want men get" policy reigns supreme everywhere.
Fantastic!
How does this affect the employment tribunal at Leonardo Defence earlier this year?

Where are the women pretending to be men in men’s change rooms at? Oh, there aren’t any?

This a a great result for the Darlington nurses and women in general. I truly hope this result will help Sandie Peggie in her appeal.
