I look forward to Wolf's response because if the court rules reasonably and not cowardly the legal fiction of gender as a trait absent of sex might end. At the very least the sex-denialism would end and then you'd have the fake trait of gender stand along side the real trait of sex at least for a time. If so the fight over what pronouns refer to and what "identity" is might have to be had. Identity in some way must at least refer to how some outside party can determine if a given physical person matches the documents naming them and that has matching physically observable traits like eye color, skin color, sex and age. The idea of "Identity" being some inner trait seems odd because you already know who you are and never needed words or social categories or outside validation to realize you are you. It's just stupid.
