If this story is accurate, it is astonishing. It will cost a six figure sum of public money in legal fees alone. Then damages, board turnover, reputational cost, political risk. The cost is incalculable.

#Forstater v CGD: MF's direct discrim claims were also pleaded alternatively as harassment. MF won on direct discrim, so couldn't also win the same claims as harassment too, so harassment claims are classed as "dismissed". Don't misread that as claims not being well-founded.

This is mortifying. The SC explicitly addresses sport in its judgment at paragraphs 53, 77, 128, 232-6, 247 and in its concluding summary of reasoning at 265 (xv). If the Chair thinks that sport is irrelevant to the judgment, she can't have read it.
Extraordinary exchange between @Rebecca_SPaul and the Chair of the Women & Equalities Select Committee.
The Chair doesn’t seem to understand that the @UKSupremeCourt ruling clarifies the position for women’s sport.

Very pleased to be instructed on this important case. The denial of good and services on the basis of gender critical belief is unlawful discrimination. It oughtn’t need litigation to prevent that discrimination from occurring - but if litigation is required, then it is required.
A Brighton pub cancelled our booking after finding out we hold "gender critical" views.
Venues need to learn they can't get away with doing this, so we're taking them to court.

There is no reading of the World Athletics statement that can give rise to Stonewall’s statement here. This is deliberate misinformation. Stonewall should not be taken seriously on this, or anything else.
It is so disappointing to see World Athletics announce a unilateral ban on trans women in track and field events.
Their own statement recognises that there are no trans women competing at an international level and that they have no specific evidence to justify the ban.

The Respondent’s statement can be seen on its website here:

archive.ph/w1jTI
🚨Case Update: Settlement Reached🚨
Having been expelled from my Masters’ degree in Psychotherapy over 3 years ago, after speaking out about the impact of gender ideology on child safeguarding, I am extremely pleased to announce that I have agreed a settlement with the Metanoia Institute.
Metanoia have published a statement, recognising that gender critical beliefs are valid professional therapeutic beliefs.
They accept that I was trying to protect children. They accept breaching policy. They apologise to me and state that this will never happen to another student.
Finally, after having the vocation I loved so much snatched away from me, and the years of abuse that have followed, I feel vindicated.
This, coupled with the outcome of my litigation against the UK Council for Psychotherapy, means that I have closure at last.
More importantly, I hope that this outcome will ensure that educational institutes think twice before doing to another student what was done to me.
I must thank my incredible legal team, @peter_daly and @akuareindorf, who have been by my side every step of the way.
Finally, I would like to thank each and every one of you who supported me in my fight and donated to my crowdfund. I very literally could not have done it without you. I will remain eternally grateful to you all.
I will now take stock and reflect on my future life plans. However, please know that, whatever direction my career may take, I will never stop fighting for the wellbeing of children and the preservation of biological reality.

The use of “ideology” in the the term “gender identity ideology” is sometimes criticised for being hyperbolic.
But it perfectly describes a belief set so corrupting that it causes a (self-described) feminist to support male violence against women at a feminist conference.
Events that inflame division and create tension should be guarded against and @BrightonHoveCC needs better policies for which events it will host in our council-owned venues.
The choice of Brighton was clearly provocative from organisers and the problems caused predictable.

This tweet is a prime example of the misinformation that has surrounded this issue.
The EHRC interim update is not guidance, it’s an accurate update on the law following FWS. If Ms Denver objects to the law, that’s a matter for parliament (of which she is a member) to address.
This morning @thegreenparty has called for the EHRC’s harsh and ill-considered guidance on single-sex spaces to be withdrawn. As it stands the guidance puts trans people at risk of discrimination and violence and clearly hasn’t been drawn up with trans people’s input. I’ll be pushing for better

Success for McCloud would fundamentally undermine the rule of law because no SC judgment would be reliable - a would-be intervenor could pop up months or years after the event and demand a do-over. (1/5)

This is wrong on a very basic level. Of course a claimant can pursue alternative claims, because of course an individual may be discriminated against on more than one basis. A first year - a first week - undergraduate might be expected to know this.

The other problem with “case by case” (if each “case” is an individual rather a facility) is that once ONE opposite-sex individual is admitted, it is no longer a single sex space. Under Sch 3 para 27, no other opposite sex person can then be refused admission.
The case-by-case approach advocated here means that no single sex space can be guaranteed as such.
Women's rights to privacy, dignity, freedom of association, and their reasonable expectations of safety and security - all may be rendered forfeit at any future moment.
Where this leads is that women retreat from employment, from educational, leisure and cultural facilities, from public transport and spaces, and back into the private domain of the home - not through their own choice but through state coercion.
We see this in other countries around the world.
Is this the intention of the Scottish Government's position? Because it follows as its logical conclusion.

Fantastic news. It’s only a shame that the @survivorsnetbtn account appears to have been suspended today, preventing them sharing the joint statement (1/2)
My court case has been resolved! I’m so happy to share that women in Brighton & Hove now have the option of single sex rape crisis therapy. This will be run by @SurvivorsnetBtn with input from me and other women survivors (1/7)

From the New Statesman (US) interview with Judith Butler. I have read it several times, but I do not understand what it means. Can anyone help me please?

An NHS approach in whistleblowing claims is to take *every* point, escalating at *every* juncture, until C runs out of money and gives up. If that’s the plan here (and it’s the only one I can think of) it’s spectacularly misguided given publicity & support for C (1/2)

Yes. When asked how he’d fix the housing crisis in Brighton, Izzard answered by saying he’d use his international profile to draw in investment and jobs. Which would increase demand on housing and drive up rents. Hence lots of confused looks from those present.

Jo Phoenix is a renowned criminologist. She elicited the Reindorf Review, and the phrase “the law as it is, not as Stonewall would like it to be”. Her claim is against the OU. She’s got Ben Cooper and Annie Powell in her team, which is therefore A1:

James Esses’ claim is that he was expelled summarily from his university course, for holding gender-critical views. And he alleges a lot more besides. I’m doing this one, instructing Akua Reindorf KC:

Excellent article by @SimonFanshawe in today’s Sunday Times: thetimes.co.uk/article/576ff….
@UKLabour should read it closely - with their suspension yesterday of the council candidate Laura Pascal in Hackney, they are falling into *precisely* the same error as he outlines.

(2/2) @k21fem and @akuareindorf were utterly immense. I am very lucky to get to work with them on anything, particularly a case of this importance. The work that @Grays_Ink put in at the outset was crucial, and deserves huge credit too. Thank you to all of them.

Twitter needs an “add to trial bundle” function.
Pleased to see @NHSEngland Board asked publicly about implementing the Supreme Court ruling—only for Duncan Barton’s response to drift past legal accuracy unchallenged. A masterclass in performative listening & delay tactics
▫️NHS England continues to “assess” whether its policies align with the ruling, despite repeated indications from staff and others that they do not. This lack of alignment has been confirmed by the Supreme Court and multiple tribunals
▫️@wesstreeting, NHS England does not need to wait for EHRC guidance to comply with the law. The Supreme Court has already clarified the legal position, and NHS England should update its policies accordingly and provide reassurance to its workforce.
This senior NHS employee will know the EHRC have told services they are responsible for ensuring compliance NOW❕but is pretending otherwise to the board, staff and the general public. This disingenuous behaviour degrades trust and respect for the NHS
Sex, the 1️⃣ protected characteristic which has been so poorly served by Board Executives across the NHS should finally be considered as equal. We look forward to NHS England inviting us to contribute to the EHRC implementation planning

Extremely well deserved for Ben Cooper. I’ve spent a lot of time with Ben over the past couple of years and can confirm that he is an absolute marvel. thetimes.co.uk/article/59e8b…

Here is a thread of cases, all or nearly all of which meet your criteria. There are *many* more which aren’t public, which I’d be happy (with client permission) to discuss with you.
Maya Forstater’s win is great news, but there’s still some way to go. Here is a thread of cases (mine and not mine) which still need funding…

A privilege to have been at #wpuklewes tonight. Especially the impromptu extended applause when Sonya Appleby mentioned @anyabike, describing her transformative role in Sonya’s litigation.
More power to Anya Palmer: a fantastic lawyer and a generally marvellous human being.

Not a transwoman, not trans, not experiencing gender dysphoria: a “post operative transsexual”. This is not the activist interpretation of Goodwin, which seeks access to female spaces for men who identify as women, regardless of physiology.

Dr Laura Favaro was employed conduct academic research into the “gender wars”. She did so and wrote an article summarising her initial findings. Now she’s been dismissed, and her research has been frozen:

There are three cases against the Green Party, with Shahra Ali’s up first, later this summer and then Emma Bateman’s. Dawn Furness’s case will be the last to be heard. The details of it are shocking (she alleges being assaulted twice). This is a big one:
