The dumbest possible timeline is that this gets thrown back to the ECHR and we end up leaving it not because of Brexit, not because of Rwanda, but because we can’t let trans people have anything nice in this country. Why even call it a “gender recognition certificate” if SCOTUK can just decide not to recognise the fucking gender?
EDIT: The court also refused to take evidence from any trans people, incidentally. Just every bloody hate group in the land. Such a wonderful country we live in.

This is the culmination of a campaign of hate waged not by brutish mobs, but by decorous and well-regarded journalistic elites. The starting position of the general public a few years ago was to not care about this issue much, but the curators of narrative and public opinion cared about it very much indeed. And after years of insinuations, concern-trolling and disingenuous professions of acceptance, they have gotten what they wanted. In the highest positions of power, cruelty masked as evenhandedness reigns.

What a travesty.
