. @legalfeminist did a good write up of @BluskyeAllison case against Garden Court and Stonewall and what came out in the prehearing.

Stonewall staff and trans advisory group sent emails characterised by the judge as a “threat” of reputational damage to Garden Court, including that for Garden Court to continue to support Allison “puts us in a difficult position with yourselves”

We trust you will “would do what is right and stand in solidarity with trans people” and take disciplinary action against Allison or, as summarised by her barrister, face the reputational consequences.

Unsurprisingly, the judge concluded that it was at least arguable that this was “inducing” Garden Court to take the steps against Allison Bailey which it did.

Should a charitable organisation have so much power over individuals with whom it disagrees?
