Sandie won the wooden spoon. Between this and the Maria Kelly judgment it seems FWS have shot their bolt and little has changed.
Winning 1 out of 7 is not a victory.

I am actually astounded (the naivety!) of the way the NHS Fife case is being reported. British journalists should be ashamed!

You might see the press claim otherwise. Don’t be fooled by their transphobia.
Decision in the Sandie Peggie case.
She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

I was one of my local Scouts first intake of girls. It was the 90’s. I can’t believe (well, actually I can) how far backwards anti-trans obsessives want to take us.
