Woman loses job raising concerns about risk assessments and self id

The legal advice she was given was that the case was flimsy or else they would not have asked her to go voluntarily. So off she dutifully went like a good little girl.

I realise that standing up for yourself takes strength and resilience but honestly we really should.

I know there will be a whole list of posts following this saying how people are too scared and you know what, I get it. But go say that on a knitting thread or a surrendered wife thread, not a feminism one okay?

Ach, wrong thread, sorry.

I've emailed Ruth Maguire to express my concerns. Don't envy these women; they're going to get a lot of flak.

I hope this might lead to a wider debate, though, dear god it has to happen at some point, surely?!

Is there any way of verifying this?

A transgender young person may not have told their family about their gender identity. Inadvertent disclosure could cause needless stress for the young person or could put them at risk. Therefore, it is best to not disclose information to parents or carers without the young person's permission

Shocking. Taking women's livelihoods from us for the sake of a misogynist ideology.

I wished that she had named the charity that sacked her.

It's another one to add to the growing list of charities that will ignore safeguarding principles to accommodate trans ideology.

elements of the guidance provided by Education Scotland are concerning, particularly as they also seem to 'over-egg' what the law actually says. It advises teachers that they are not obliged to inform parents that the school has encouraged and activated their child's 'social transition'.

Is there any way of verifying this? That's really scary if it's true! But yeh, this is just one more way to silence women. Women are most effected by this = most likely to speak out = mostly likely to lose jobs. And the women who are worst effected are likely to be in the least secure jobs. If I was a single mum on a zero hour contract I wouldn't say anything! It's a scary time to be a woman but also a citizen of the UK in general. What kind of democracy is this where people can't speak up for their rights without fear of sanction?

That is pretty terrifying.

An entirely reasonable and measured letter - how on earth has this woman been fired?

Absolutely horrible. Poor woman.
