Maya Forstater's lawyer:
"Amnesty Ireland went furthest of all by putting its name to a statement calling for people with Gender Critical beliefs to be “denied legitimate political representation”. Even typing that sentence feels implausible."

Maya Forstater's lawyer says that in the light of today's judgment, the right of lesbians, gay men, and bisexual people to affirm their sexuality as being sex-based is protected.
"For Gender Critical gays & lesbians, the insistence of homosexuality as same-gender attraction can be seen as unvarnished, base homophobia of the type that even five years ago was thought defeated, except within the most reactionary and bigoted corners of society."
Maya Forstater's lawyer says today's judgment upholds the right of LGB people to organize:
"There is an urgent need now to question the wisdom of grouping all LGBT people together as a homogenous single group, classified and defined solely by reference to Gender Theory."
Maya Forstater's lawyer says today's judgment means organizations need to question their performative waving of novelty Pride flags.
"There is no sense at all in adopting exclusionary iconography in the name of inclusion."
