People ARE protected in law against discrimination or harrassment on the basis of belief or lack of belief. If GC belief qualifies, then so does disbelief in the the GC world view. People should not be discriminated for their beliefs but they can't compel others to share them

IANAL but I’m fairly sure people are also protected in (UK) law under the characteristics of gender reassignment.

Yes there are 9 protected characteristics: age, sex, race disability, belief etc and gender reassignment. Gender reassignment does not mean a person's sex has changed. People should not be discriminated either because of belief or gender reassignment or sex.

Correct. Surgery is a personal decision. What the EqA says is that a person shouldn't be discriminated against because of transitioning (in any way) eg they should lose their job, or be treated less favourably at work. It doesn't mean their sex has actually or legally changed.

Let’s say we just accept that bit so we can let it go; how is it related to “the legal case that argues 'gender critical' views should be protected in law”?

"Religion and belief" is a protected characteristic. You should not be discriminated against or harassed at work or as a customer/service user etc... because of your belief or lack of belief

Okay...? We agree on that then...?
