The courts heard it because a bunch of shitty old bigots won't stop screeching it...

The "court hears" all types of crazy shit

"[Lesbians] are united by one or more common features … mainly biology," Dr Blake said.

Ughhh we're about to witness another legal argument that boils down to "what is a woman" while pretending it's not just about whether they're cis–passing. If they really want to draw this line, the butch cis lesbians are in for a rude shock when accusations of transness come their way.

Sounds like the Lesbian Action Group is lagging behind the times.

How do they plan to enforce this ? Knickers down at the door ? What of post op ? What the fuck ?
