Poll results: legal twitter and layperson twitter results are basically the same.

View of 'what does sex mean?' in the Equality Act is largely split between biology, and 'biology unless someone has a GRC'
Which chimes with Julius Komorowski 's conclusion that neither can be ruled out (and disagrees with @AlexSharpe64)

The law is quite ambiguous on this ... it seems like the interaction between the GRA & the Equality Act really wasn't thought through ...
What is less ambiguous is that the exemptions allow single sex services and allow them to *be* single sex (i.e. in practice when it comes to situations where sex matters, sex means biology)
The purpose of discrimination law is to "address mismatch between reality & past assumptions or stereotypes"

The GRA overrules reality in favour of stereotypes (for a v small group of people understood to have a medical need)

So it is not surprising they don't fit together well
