My naivety here - not sure where "living in their acquired gender" ends and "transitioning" starts. Presumably the later is around drugs/operations and a bit more "permanent" - I had used the terms synonymously in my post, perhaps in error, and meaning the former at each point.

I maintain that it's not easy though. Okay, there's no definition around what they have to do but it's a legally binding oath/agreement they're entering into. I find it hard to believe it would be done frivolously. I think the fear in this instance isn't one that aligns with the reality of the situation.

Regardless, there's still a disconnect between the GRA reforms and any rules/opinions on how trans people engage with sports.
One of the problems with the legislation is how can it be a criminal offence to do it in bad faith when there is no definition of what living in your acquired gender actually means. It's like saying if you break the speed limit you are committing a criminal offence but nobody can tell you what the speed limit is.

There is no requirement to transition, some may decide not to and some may decide they do want to.

You would hope the vast majority use the new rules as they are meant to be used, but history tells us predatory men will use whatever means they can to fulfil their needs.
