The SC ruling actually didn't say that, it was mostly about a narrow part of equality law, and completely ignored other legislation in the UK that is still valid, like the Gender Recognition act that states that a GRC changes the persons sex "for all purposes."
Excerpt from the Gender Recognition Act: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/7/section/9 9General (1)Where a full gender recognition certificate is issued to a person, the person’s gender becomes for all purposes the acquired gender (so that, if the acquired gender is the male gender, the person’s sex becomes that of a man and, if it is the female gender, the person’s sex becomes that of a woman). (2)Subsection (1) does not affect things done, or events occurring, before the certificate is issued; but it does operate for the interpretation of enactments passed, and instruments and other documents made, before the certificate is issued (as well as those passed or made afterwards). (3)Subsection (1) is subject to provision made by this Act or any other enactment or any subordinate legislation.

TL;DR: You need a formal diagnosis of transsexualism and have your case reviewed by a court. And in practice, a lot of applications were rejected.

Screenshot of Text from Rainbowmap saying the following: Legal Gender Recognition In June, Sweden passed a new law on legal gender recognition, which will come into effect on July 1, 2025. Under the law, changing one’s legal gender will no longer require a formal diagnosis. Instead, individuals will be able to apply for a legal gender change with just a certificate from a medical professional. This means that individuals will no longer need to apply to the Judicial Council, which had previously been involved in reviewing these applications, although the Council’s decisions have been linked to the ongoing public debate around trans issues. An investigation conducted by magazine Ottar revealed that rejections for legal gender recognition by the Judicial Council have increased, with nearly half of the rejected cases lacking complete medical certificates. Lawyer Silas Aliki, who represents trans people appealing these decisions, suggests that the Council’s decisions have been influenced by the ongoing public debate around trans issues. At the time of writing, it remains unclear which professions will be authorised to grant these certificates and the specifics of the process are not yet known, aside from the indication that it will be significantly simpler and easier to obtain than a full medical diagnosis.

Funnily enough, most people have the connection completely wrong:
