Another belief case.
Kristie Higgs lack of belief in “gender fluidity” & her lack of belief that someone could change sex were judge to be included under s10. Equality Act for belief discrimination
That means they passed the test of "worthy of respect in a democratic society"

"The belief that sex/gender are “set at birth” may be upsetting to certain people but if freedom of speech in art 9 & 10 of the European convention of human rights only extended to expressions of belief that could upset no-one they would be worthless."
Referring to my case & Mackereth: "Essentially, to find as the tribunals did would amount to a declaration of “open season” on people that hold & express the beliefs in question – that they do not deserve protection. That seemed a strange & somewhat disturbing conclusion."
The tribunal in this case correctly considered the question of whether the belief was protected, and the whether the employer acted reasonably in relation to the manifestation of belief separately.
Kristie Higgs lost on the second question, and is appealing
