We are at Leeds Employment Tribunal hoping to live tweet the 1st day of LS v NHS England. LS, also known by the pseudonym Faye Russell-Caldicott, has filed a legal claim against NHS England (NHSE), alleging ..
indirect discrimination on the grounds of sex, religion and disability (PTSD) as well as harassment related to her sex and philosophical belief (gender-critical).
The case challenges NHSE’s trans staff policy, which permits male employees who identify as women to access female-only toilets, changing rooms and shower facilities. Women uncomfortable with the arrangement are directed to use gender-neutral toilets, while trans-identifying males retain access to female facilities.
