Employers take note: if people who think gender critical beliefs are not worthy of respect tell you to discriminate against us and you do, you could be liable.
Review your policies and make sure they don't discriminate against people with gender critical beliefs

My superstar lawyers ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and in particular @anyabike. none of this would have happened without her. Together with @PeterDaly and Ben Cooper QC I have had the best team! We have changed the debate in the UK and made it safe(r) for people to speak.
All the people who have kept me sane - my locals in Herts (especially Rowena), the Worshipful Company of Difficult Women (Hands Across the Tweed! 😉), the amazing @SexMattersOrg team.
The women of @MumsnetTowers @FiLiA_charity and all of the groups @fairplaywomen @ALLIANCELGB @Womans_Place_UK @WomensRightsNet
..... and @jk_rowling !
Everyone who had my back

@EHRC and @IndexCensorship for intervening
