There is no eradication of anyone.
Finally a clear definition that anyone with an ounce of common sense already knew.
It protects women and girls from males
Gender again. Sorry!

Trans women remain as women under the Gender Recognition Act, but can now be discriminated against under anti-discrimination laws on the basis of their legal sex.
But let's not be fooled into thinking that this only affects trans women in a negative way.
It's far from the first time that I've admitted to being a masculine presenting lesbian. I'm a cis women who happens to be a dyke. So what!?
In the past I've been challenged in women's spaces by people's perceptions. Just because I don't wear pink frillies I'm perceived as 'other'.
From today, under the law, none of my documents prove that I'm a woman. So perception of my appearance legitimises discrimination against me by people of the same sex.
If I cave in to this pressure and use a men's facility instead, I can be challenged on the perception of not looking masculine enough. From today I can not produce any legally recognised document to prove my sex. I might even be asked for a GRC, which of course I can not produce. So effectively I can now be discriminated against by either sex.
Therefore from today, my treatment is not guaranteed by my 'biological reality' but by perception of bigots. Yet some lesbians fought for this because the word 'lesbian' is protected by them and nobody may trespass upon it.
We are now in the ridiculous position of the Supreme Court protecting words rather than people.

A handy empirical definition of this nebulous concept would be helpful, otherwise I'll be forced to assume it means "how people like ME feel".
And then I'll just have to refer back to my previous observation, won't I?

A very fair point.
Well, doesn't it state that your biological sex on your birth certificate does this?

You mean the vast majority of people.
It was also the case in the USA, absolute majority didn't agree with trans being allowed into places reserved for females
The recent example of a teacher trying to bully school kids who know more about biology. This teacher will now have to withdraw her statement of complaint against these students.

From today, for the purposes of the Equality Act none of us are no longer necessarily the sex stated on our birth certificates. In fact there exists no document we can carry to give evidence of our biological sex. Discrimination at the point of contact with another person has become legitimised by perception.

You've asked them all, then?
Survey says
Republicans (79%) are far more likely to support restrictions like banning minor healthcare transitions, while Democrats (59%) often say acceptance hasn’t gone far enough.
You know what happened to the democrats in Nov '24

I hadn't realised that the US Presidential Election was a referendum on gender transition. Thanks for confirming.
