The EA works both ways. It allows organisations to prevent access by anyone, if the owners or members of that space deem that appropriate.

Only last week, I was in what is normally a female-only space. The members allowed me in. Had they refused, I would have had no recourse, even if I'd had a GRC. The EA trumps that.

The reformed GRA doesn't change that. The challenge,however, was highlighted in the debate last night by a Labour MSP (can't remember their name). They asked that guidance be given to all affected organisations (such as Health Boards)to clarify how to apply both the EA and GRA. I don't think that's an unreasonable request,and IMO should be dealt with before the reformed GRA comes into force.
How do you interpret the Court of Session ruling? Lady Haldane's conclusion that for the purpose of the Equalities Act the meaning of sex "is not limited to biological birth or sex" indicates to me (and clearly many others) that a GRC will now count as a change of sex. I've read through her ruling several times and I can't see how else to interpret it.
