Maya’s case was hard for her & many women, esp @jk_rowling, who defended the right to hold the basic belief that sex should not be conflated w gender identity.

The judgment is rightly mindful of the risks trans people can face at work and the difference between beliefs, expression and harassment.
The abuse & silencing women have faced over recent years for basic expression about sex, gender + sex-based rights has been bullying tactics (mostly male) dressed as moral superiority. As always women overcome -esp thanks to @Womans_Place_UK facilitating debates despite hostility
The abuse and silencing has also done nothing but contribute to a horrendously polarised, dramatised conflict that serves no one. Free speech is the foundation of a respectful environment where everyone can speak and listen, to understand each other and create harmony. One day!
Let’s hope things get better from here🤞
