Key point, for law students: how the political mood music affects the application of the law. If the mood music is unfavourable that helps your prospects of losing and if it is favourable it helps your prospects of winning. theferret.scot/trans-men-and-…
The principle extends beyond trans issues (England, hostile; Scotland, supportive). During the 'Brexit years' we brought a whole bunch of cases that we won in Edinburgh but we would have lost in London.

We are working on a huge challenge to tech company abuses that we will bring in the UK and EU and are scoping out which jurisdiction in the EU - but also which in the UK.
Anyway, for my trans friends, the takeaway is, support all crowdfunders brought by transphobes in Scotland because they are likely to lose and establish helpful principles with read across to England.
