I need your help, one more time to get my
case to the employment tribunal...

The case starts on 7 March for 12 days, and I still need to raise £100,000 to get to the finishing line <gulp>

crowdjustice.com/case/stand-wit…
The tribunal will hear my claim that I was discriminated against, directly...
...and indirectly, because of my "gender critical" belief that sex is binary, immutable and important
I will give evidence, alongside four witnesses from CGD
CGD, a US based organisation from the Washington DC beltway is being tested against the UK's Equality Act 2010.
There is around 2,000 pages of evidence to go through
I am represented by a brilliant legal team....
And the case has been supported by thousands of donors, who know that this case matters not just for me to get justice, but to show other employers that they cannot discriminate against people for saying that sex matters.
Thank you for all your support!

Amnesty have written to people saying

“We regret ‘A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK’ briefing was uploaded to our website without going through the established internal review processes that are in place to ensure consistency, accuracy and alignment with Amnesty International UK's positions. It's use of language does not reflect the position of Amnesty International UK which is why it was promptly removed.”

“We remain committed to defending human rights, including both the rights of women and the rights of trans people.”

This is insulting double-speak.
By “the rights of women” they include men who identify as women.

They have told us this for years and years. Image
This is what they tweeted the day I lost my employment tribunal in 2019 and it was wrongly declared that gender critical beliefs were “not worthy of respect in a democratic society” Image

Amnesty's report on what it calls the "anti-rights movement" is remarkably authoritarian. Image
It calls on regulators and funders to remove support from organisations it doesn't agree with. Image
It identifies a long list of gender critical organisations and those it says are involved in "conversion practices" (otherwise known as evidence-based medicine in relation to gender identity issues) Image

The belief discrimination case of Ricky Garrett v London Ambulance Service NHS Trust has been overturned on appeal.

Mr Garrett was a litigant in person.

The original tribunal found that he had been discriminated against for his belief that "we are all one (human) race" and his non-belief in systemic racism, when, following a complaint about an overheard conversation he was ordered to write an academically referenced written reflection on systemic racism.
This was the original conduct - a discussion with a colleague following workplace promotion of the idea of systemic racism with which Mr Garrett disagreed. Image
The investigation said his misconduct wasn't about him disagreeing with the theory of systemic racism but the way that he said it.

He was told to write an academically referenced essay to see if his position changed. Image

The @EHRC says that information about sex is "likely to constitute special category data for the purposes of the Data Protection Act and UKGDPR".

It gives no caselaw for this. Image
This means that organisations that are following the code would need revise their data protection policies and train all their staff.

Organisations like... the EHRC...

Whose own data protection policy doesn't say anything about treating sex as special category data.

The OfS-Sussex judgement is logically flawed and can't be allowed to stand. @ObhishekSaha with a very good analogy about paths.

Sussex's defence was that it had a high level sign saying "this path will only be closed for very good reasons". Therefore it must have had a very good reason 🙄

timeshighereducation.com/opinion/ofs-su…
I really like this footpath analogy...

In order to keep the footpath functionally open the local authority has to apply some rules to the users of the path. It has a duty to keep the path open for cyclists and pedestrians, but not for motorbikes. This is in the bye-laws

(this is the university's equality act compliant equality policy that is part of its governance)
There are some short parts of the path that are so unavoidably narrow that the local authority puts up signs saying "cyclists dismount here" to keep the whole path safe and open for all users.

That is fine, the path is still open to pedestrians and cyclists.

(that's a proportionate means to a legitimate aim in the Equality Act, its "no noisy protests that disrupt exams")
