Couple particularly interesting points:

I shan’t go into the background of the Allison Bailey case, beyond pointing out that – given the nature of the bar – for a barrister to take her chambers to court is a huge and risky step. ... Allison Bailey’s willingness to go against senior members of her own small and powerful profession over such a contentious issue, required extraordinary courage.

And:

Now the courts have held that Bailey and Forstater hold legitimate beliefs and have suffered discrimination, the fundamental basis for any criticism of Rowling over sex and gender is destroyed.

It would be nice to think that the rulings over Bailey and Forstater would bring about the vindication of JK Rowling, but I think that is sadly unlikely. Instead, I suggest that anyone who persists in their damnation of Rowling over sex and gender in spite of those rulings is revealing quite a lot about themselves and their motives.
