One of Maya Forstater's lawyers, @peter_daly, on @amnesty , the @fawcettsociety, the organised Trade Union movement, the political parties: "All have ignored these women, or been positively hostile"
"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 in the light of today's judgment, @theSNP need to review their proposed hate crime legislation, and national police forces need to stand down from thought policing.
Maya Forstater's lawyer says that in the light of today's judgment, the Office for National Statistics @ONS need to review fundamental priniciples, social media needs to stop censoring gender-critical views, and education authorities need to stop indoctrinating children.
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."
There are many other excellent points raised in @peter_daly's commentary to today's judgment in the Maya Forstater case.
"Policies which demand the mandatory insertion of pronouns in email footers... may be evidence of the hostile environment described at s.26(1)(b) Equality Act 2010..."
What an appalling organization.
What an appalling CEO.
The best course of action would have been to recognize the court's judgment, acknowledge failings, and settle compensation for discrimination and wrongful dismissal.
Previous thread on the wondrous and surprising fact that artificial intelligence cannot detect esoteric beliefs which contradict physical reality on the faces of people who hold them:
Lavery pops up in ghoulish delight at his fantasy that a male could have a uterus implanted from a dead or living woman, only to abort the fetus that was presumably was the point of the operation.
A vanity womb, with a vanity abortion, top points in the Great Validation Game <3
Lavery clearly derives pleasure from offending women, as many such misogynists do. Here Lavery takes an event that is often traumatizing for women and sets it as a goal for trans validation.
So yes, it's a fetish for these people, like menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding.
Notice the slur & the deliberate "misgendering".
Lavery knows it's women objecting to his fetishistic fantasy of trophy abortions when he says "Real feminist activists, these GUYS".
Weird to claim to be a woman when you hate them so much, isn't it?
Two sexist men briefly interrupt chanting the misogynistic cult slogan "Trans women are women", as they suddenly remember they require actual women as reproductive workers for the human commodities they wish to acquire.
For the record: Here is the archived version of that exchange
"Like many activists consumed by this issue, Chase Strangio is uncompromising in demanding strict adherence to a set of highly contestable orthodoxies, and merciless toward anyone who dares question them." tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
"Strangio is of course perfectly entitled to his views about the fairness of allowing natal males to compete against natal females in high school sports, and to advocate for an “information climate” suppressing books he doesn’t like..."
