what is going on in the uk

No one voted for this, and the last government was actively voted out for all this sort of bullshit. However, to give a prime example of two faced ideology, we now have a government that had the position that trans-women are women, but as soon as they were elected switched to a trans-phobic position.
Nothing the current government does is based upon their election campaign, nothing we voted for is being pursued, and nothing happening is what we want. Labour are actively corrupt.
Any law can be framed as oppression on the basis that it informs people they're not allowed to do something. Speed limits oppress drivers who want to drive over 70 mph, etc.
Also, it was the Supreme Court who decided on the issue of transwomen being legally interpreted as men in the Equality Act, this was independent of the Government.

Starmer (as it was he who said it, not "official government position") doesn't have to change his position based upon a court ruling that something wasn't clarified enough. They could also say, we still believe that trans-women are women, and we will work to correct this oversight. What actually happened was destroy support for him as he chases voters who would never support him anyway.

Except this is criminalising personal adult activities. We can justify this as a public health issue once the police prosecute ex-prince paedophiles.
Remember that "public health" can be used in all sorts of ways.

Indeed.
Overhauling the Equality Act, which would be a complex and time-consuming process, wasn't in Labour's election campaign either. They have more pressing issues to deal with.
Anyway, the Supreme Court judgment confirmed that everyone's rights are still protected so it's not like there's a huge oversight that needs to be corrected.
