however you can also genuinely have autism and/or ADHD *and* genuinely be trans. so it seems worrying about overdiagnosis is still on the wrong track vs just being able to accept that both these things can be true and acting accordingly

@reactiveashley.bsky.social may correct me, but I believe all it needs is the Minister to sign into law a currently dormant clause in EqA 2010.
The judiciary interprets law: governments make it. The Govt can at any time legislate so that the SCJ no longer applies.

Bertold Brecht called one of his plays "The *Resistible* Rise of Arturo Ui". It's an important point. It, like all fascism including this, was always resistible. it just wasn't resisted, by the people whose task that was.
