Kathleen Stock is celebrating the victory of reason over gender myth-making in the British courts:

Another big problem for transactivist campaigners was the restricted arsenal of argumentative weapons at their disposal. They couldn’t rely on reason or evidence as these concepts are commonly understood, because no good arguments for transubstantiation by means of lip gloss existed. This left only three options: intellectual misdirection, emotional blackmail, and aggressively shaming opponents into silence.

It’s right to celebrate but that it should have taken years and an extraordinary amount of effort to prove that men don’t belong in women’s jails and changing rooms is in itself quite sad.
