I'm not sure if 'Ms. Taylor' still works for JLR or whether she's been dismissed, but if she still works there, you can bet that the problems are going to be twice as bad for her now. She will forever be 'the person who sued the company', and people are going to walk on eggshells around her.

If there was genuine discrimination, then that's unfortunate for her and my heart goes out to her. However I side with JLR. The law doesn't protect 'non-binary', because that term is meaningless. If Ms. Taylor had transitioned then, yes, she would be protected, but this whole thing reeks of "The straights don't want to be my friend!" and she wanted to sue them because of that.

Nope, Taylor left and then sued for 'constructive dismissal': being forced to resign to escape a hostile work environment. He now works for another company, Arup. Linkedin page. Maybe a female engineer lost out to him for that job. Whether or not that's the case he is now effectively unsackable, and any company he applies to work for in future will need cast-iron reasons to turn him down.
