AIUI the GRC itself is a direction to the Registrar General to issue a new birth certificate. It's not something you keep in your wallet like a Driving Licence.
Heather has a birth certificate that says she was born Heather Louise sometime during the war. For legal purposes she's a woman. All this stuff about rape shelters an Lesbian singles nights is what my late Father would have called my eye and Betty Martin. Or to use the technical term bollocks.
It doesn't happen now all but 20 years after the GRA. There's no reason to think that if the Scottish provision which has, somewhat unhelpfully with hindsight, been seen as allowing people to 'self certify' would change that.
People, whatever their sex/gender and paperwork, creating mayhem in a nightclub or DV shelter are breaking laws and/or conditions of entry and will be dealt with by the police or bouncers.

This is correct (natch). The GR panel make a number of outputs on a case approval. One is to issue a GRC. Another is to direct the registrar general to issue a new birth certificate. Additionally they direct the NHS to change the person's NHS number, they direct other public services such as the DVLA and Passport Office and tax office to protect the person's identity. This is to ensure that as far as possible that the person does not have to reveal their 'trans' identity to anyone. The police are permitted to see the former identity but again are required to put in place measures to protect it.
Although these measures were well-intended, they rarely run smoothly producing all manner of difficulty along the way. For example, as my niece found out, the person can not hire a car since the licence details do not appear on the database available to hire companies. To overcome this the person has on each occasion to obtain a secret code from the DVLA to present at the hire firm desk which gives then gives them access. The code then because of its nature then tells everyone at the hire company that you are in fact a trans person.
It's amazing then, given the arrangements made to protect an identity to think that Aurora's gender police think they not only have such right as to carry out an inquisition in public, demand to see a GRC if they suspect a person may be trans, have the right to examine genitals, or remove a person from a public space.
This is the whole problem with the third toilet approach, the system requires the person to 'out' themselves so anyone that is watching every time they need to use the loo - not appropriate!
