The judgment in Sandie Peggie vs NHS Fife and Dr Upton has been published.

We are pleased that Sandie Peggie has won her claim of harassment against NHS Fife, and that the hospital trust was criticised for its terrible handling of the complaint against her. Image
This is a long judgment and it will take time to analyse it fully.

judiciary.uk/judgments/sand…
We are disappointed the tribunal sought to reach a spurious “balance” between a woman’s right to undress with privacy & dignity, and the right of an employee w the PC of gender reassignment not to be discriminated against in employment.

The puberty blockers trial on trial.

Treating "gender incongruence" by stunting children's physical, mental and reproductive development - so they can look better if they transition: its not ethical @wesstreeting

sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…
This is the how they plan to test puberty blockers - after two years asking "have you felt full of energy?", "have you had fun with your friends"?

Is that worth removing a child's chance to grow up and have adult sexual function, relationships and children of their own? Image
The protocol ignores the Supreme Court judgement and asks children "Have you socially transitioned"? Image

Sex and gender reporting at the BBC is neither accurate nor impartial.

We have been tracking and complaining about this for some time!

There is the endless coverage of drag... Image

And the Pride boosterism Image
Meanwhile the Cass Review which reported on the weak evidence for puberty blockers and misguided “diagnostic overshadowing” was largely reported as a problem of under-capacity in NHS gender clinics Image

UPDATE: @scotgov has dropped its unlawful toilets policy, and we can now confirm that we have withdrawn our application for judicial review 🧵
sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…
In September, we lodged a petition for judicial review of the failure by the Scottish Government to restore and protect the provision of single-sex toilet facilities in its building:
sex-matters.org/posts/publicat…
Our legal challenge was against paragraph 4.6 of the Government’s Trans and Non Binary Equality and Inclusion Policy.

This meant allowing male staff into women’s toilets and changing facilities. We said that this was authorising harassment related to sex, and was unlawful.Image
