Remember when Helen Joyce was called out as "not an expert" by Australian courts - Now Maya Forstater has been told the same in the Peggie judgment! 👏👏👏
The judgement states outright that the evidence submitted by her & Sex Matters was “not skilled evidence.”
This is the Tribunal’s exact wording!

I keep thinking of Beth Upton today, who won against an absolutely foul, racist bigot, and should be having the best day, but is still being monstered by our entire media, for the crime of merely existing as her authentic self and doing a job in the NHS that helps people, all day every day.
#C4News went above & beyond, reporting:
"a nurse has won a harassment claim against Dr Beth Upton."
No she didn't. NHS FIFE harassed her, not Upton.
This is almost defamatory, & they mentioned none of the dismissed parts or the implications for trans women in SS spaces. I complained to Ofcom.

Dear media: stop running Sex Matters press releases as though they were neutral findings of fact

My thread earlier focused on the discussion re. FWS - but I just want to draw this out really explicitly:
The press absolutely monstered Dr Beth Upton in the most appalling way – only for the Tribunal to find that Beth had done nothing wrong, but that Sandie Peggie had harassed her.

Also worth noting, the Tribunal found that Sandie Peggie had harassed Dr Beth Upton in a "hate incident".

I also want to express my love for Dr Beth Upton. That woman truly has more courage than any of us.

You can be angry at those who back down, or feel love for those who keep fighting by your side (or both). But this evening I am feeling a lot of love for the latter. Don't expect anyone to join me, but wanted to express that love.

Just want others in the trans community to know that stuff like this is only possible because of the extreme hard work of really good allies most of whom you will never see or hear from. But they are willing to fight for us at immense personal cost, when others back down. This is my cheers to them.

Was planning on finishing up last week’s studying today and then having a restful afternoon before a busy day tomorrow. Instead I’ve been dealing with family drama and a leaky roof

I’m not even seeing my family until tomorrow and there’s already drama. My step mum is worried about a bit of rain and my two nieces are arguing and both threatening not to come to lunch.

I love #GameOfWool but the judges are way too negative, even just on the walkthrough whilst the contestants are still knitting. They should be encouraging them. It brings the whole vibe down I feel.

You can’t move for “ADHD activists” in country! They’re everywhere!

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Seem to be being in my feelings about a million different things at the moment. I guess it’s the time of year, multiplied by the difficult year my family have had. Keeping focus on what’s important and looking forward to seeing family on Tuesday ❤️

Boris Johnson's slurs are one thing. Keir Starmer overseeing the introduction of a new Section 28 in schools for trans and non-binary people, supporting segregation and backing Wes Streeting as he drives kids to suicide after stripping them of their healthcare is on a whole other level.
i hate it when i mention how bigoted keir starmer is and someone is like 'huh? are you forgetting that boris johnson called gay men bum boys?!'.
no. i haven't forgotten that. that's nothing compared to the shit keir starmer has done.

As with Trump and his MAGA followers, Farage’s fans know he’s racist and don’t care. They know he’s said awful things and it doesn’t make an ounce of difference to them.
