This would seem like defamation to me but I'm not an expert.
#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.

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.

The BBC is now consistently using a transphobic slur to refer to trans people.
Transphobes are still not happy. That's still not hateful and cruel enough.

Remember: the EHRC's Interim Guidance, and we understand the draft statutory guidance too, recommended a trans bathroom ban. Two tribunals have now disagreed.
This is the second decision - both first instance - since the appalling For (Some) Women Scotland decision to find that there is no trans bathroom ban. www.gov.uk/employment-t...

the BBC is institutionally transphobic so they're lying to make transphobes look good.
The BBC News at Six is highly misleading. They present the story as if the bigot has won the case, which is false. To make matters worse, they end with their editor reading a proclamation “of the Supreme Court” that is entirely incorrect.

The idea that “once any transphobe has complained, we lose our rights” is now portrayed by the media as the new law. In reality, no lawyer would take that as a correct takeaway of the ET judgment.
Also another recent ET, Leonardo, goes even further, held that inclusion is not optional.

If the reporting on the Peggie decision tells us anything, it should be that the way news gets reported in this country has little to do with truth, and much more to do with narrative - as well as whose heavily spun press release lands on journos desks first.

All the headlines are saying that Peggie won but when you look at the judgement apart from the fact NHS Fife were clumsy with their handling of the situation she clearly lost.

I’m actually losing my mind reading the BBC live reporting on this… Scottish Tories calling for John Swinney to apologise??
If anyone should be apologising it should be Anas Sarwar on behalf of Scottish Labour to Dr Beth Upton who was entirely vindicated and in fact shown to have been victimised.

Two ways to read this. One is “she lost on every substantive claim, completely failed in her attempts to ban trans staff from the workplace, and won mild procedural victories against her employers handling of her case”.
The other way is, I guess, “point one is longer so it must be more important”

"Whilst the claimant argued that Ms Forstater was not presented as an expert witness, in our view that is
essentially what she was doing. She was giving evidence on matters of opinion dressed up as matters of fact."

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie
Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.

I’m going to write a careful case note about this important first instance case on trans toilet access in the next few days but I keep spotting great things in EJ Surherland’s careful and thoughtful consideration of workplace toilets both under the 1992 Regulations and the EA.

If you are addicted to heroin you can have your blood tested to help you manage the health risks. But if you are a child trying to access healthcare, in line with international norms, Wes Streeting's position is that you "must" be treated worse.
The Times yesterday, on how trans kids, denied the healthcare they need, are buying black market hormones.
Of course, this is *exactly* what everyone said would happen. And its risks are dramatically amplified by Streeting telling GPs they must stop offering blood tests.
