Maya Forstater: Woman who lost job after claiming people cannot change biological sex wins tribunal
A woman who lost her job after claiming people cannot change their biological sex has won a landmark appeal against an employment tribunal.
“The previous judgment was overturned. Gender critical beliefs are protected under the equality act and people who hold those beliefs are protected against discrimination and harassment.”
SNP MP Joanna Cherry QC posted online: “This landmark judgment means that gender critical women & men will have a potential remedy under the Equality Act if they are discriminated against, harassed or victimised on account of their beliefs by employers, service providers & membership organisations.”
