I'm not going down a rabbit hole about the meaning of facilities.
The GRC results in the issue of a birth certificate in the acquired gender; that all you need.

BREAKING: Teen footballer Cerys Vaughan has WON her appeal after being banned for asking a bearded trans player: “Are you a man?”
This is what happens when institutions like the FA follow Stonewall’s lead: adopting policies that conflate sex and gender identity, misapply the law on single-sex spaces, and quietly embed gender ideology into official practice.

What's the difference between 'sex' and 'gender'. Or are you using them interchangeably?

I'm using the word gender as in the legislation.

Lady Hale sounds like a sensible person.
Lady Hale said: ...“But I can be much more critical of the way it’s been received. Because there’s nothing in that judgment that says that you can’t have gender neutral loos, as we have here in this festival.” She applauded the fact that Charleston’s organisers went ahead with that decision “despite the fact that there are people saying that you can’t do that”.
The judgment “says nothing about that”, she added. “It’s for other people to work out the other parts of the Equality Act, which permit but do not require services to be provided differently for people according to sex.”
The 80-year-old, who is a member of the House of Lords, also questioned what was meant by “biological sex”.
“I was with some doctors last week who said there is no such thing as biological sex,” she said. “There are plenty of things to quarrel with” about the judgment, but Hale said her main concern was the “very binary reaction that there has been to it”.
The “proper answer to all of this”, she believed, was “somewhere in the middle. So that’s what I very much hope we will come out with when people have calmed down and start being sensible about things...”

What's the difference between 'sex' and 'gender'. Or are they two words for the same thing?

Oh don't be silly. Tell us what you actually believe for once.
By the way, I've read the article. The 'no such thing as biological sex' bit has absolutely no context as far as I can see. Do you actually believe it to be true?

People who use the word 'woke' against people are invariably bigots, those indoctrinated by a religious or other ideology, or those who are stupid and simply follow the pack. Otherwise they are educated people with perverse political ambition.
To be a bigot is to be tainted.
There is a right to freedom of expression, but it is not always free from consequence. I am free to call you 'a bigot' without consequence since it is an expression of truth. Calling out hate speech can not in itself be hate speech.
Religion, like UK democracy is a fear-based system. It encourages and rewards cowardice. It inculcates fear and encourages the promotion of it.
Whether in your own case you are uneducated, indoctrinated, or just plain stupid is indeterminate, since you exhibit traits of all three. Availability of money is not a route to the remedy of stupidity, though it can buy a decent education for those with a modicum of intelligence.
