Another GC employment tribunal. Roz Adams vs Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre #2

Thanks. So it.was.the LGBA case that left her shaking with horror.

It was Ann Sinnott's judicial review. They made a lot out of Ann Sinnott having founded LGBA which I'm not sure is entirely true.

I'm entirely unsurprised.

ERCC appears to be run primarily to validate the feelings and serve the needs of those working there, rather than provide support to women who have been raped.

It's shameful

And yes @Boiledbeetle it does indeed become very clear.

I think NC knew exactly what was on MRs twitter.

My bold

It always comes down to “sex-based rights” and toilet safety. There is no evidence. Sex-based rights create division and toilets should be safe for absolutely everyone. This creation of the toilet predator is all about transphobia and is so disheartening.

Doesn't it!

Ffs. Meant to quote @Signalbox there!

It all becomes clear.

Thanks. So it.was.the LGBA case that left her shaking with horror. I still find it hard to believe she hadn't heard of Maya Forstater and her case, given that she is mentioned twice in that thread, and given how embedded in TRA twitter she quite clearly is.

Am amused at "shaking with horror". It reminds me of that comedian who was "angry crying" because some women had lunch.

Ha ha, I remember that. Didn't #madangrycry trend for a little while?

This explains a lot.

Womens opinions are transphobic, basically

Admittedly I've just been scan reading through here and TT, but that Twitter posts suggests that she was given the role of heading the disciplinary precisely because she understood Stonewall Law.

I'd assumed that she was just a bit dim/naïve.

Hopefully she can be re-examined.

I could not agree more. They do not speak for me, and I am offended and ashamed every time it is said that they do.

To the unhinged What The Trans podcast account. Can't see what WTT wrote because I'm blocked but it looks like something about GC feminists.

I know why all this has happened but it does shock me at times, throughout the hearing, that they’re all gathered in a court room because a rape crisis centre support worker wanted a way of reassuring women who had been raped that they would be seen by a female support worker. Ideologues got in the way of that fundamental aspect of rape crisis counselling and refuse to admit it. I just have to say it out loud sometimes to retain my sanity.

Neither do I, MR is not neutral in anyway.

I just tried on my phone, and it works (after much messing about with the address). Will be watching on Monday.

Thanks for the help.

And certainly not after reading those tweets. She very firmly on the twaw side of the fence. Roz never stood a chance!

I don't remotely feel sorry for Mairi Rosko.

Thank you. I am staggered that people think Trans rights and women’s rights are different things.

Quite. MR had been performative enough ot her tweet saying an article about mayas case had left her shaking with horror.

I would be agog if someone so troubled by the situation, hadnt kept abreast of how the case unfolded.

She's a fan of David Paisley so that backs up my theory of why she got Macfarlanes tweet. https://x.com/roskomairi/status/1390567186574495745?s=46&t=SPorwN-mokktL467rcZ57g

(I can't read Paisleys tweet, but it looks like MR disapproves of "the debate".

I am constantly astonished that some women say they want equality, and yet can’t understand that this means equality for everyone. That simply isn’t equality. Every day I see the damage this debate does to young trans people, and I flit between dismayed and enraged.

I feel very slightly sorry for MR an unpaid volunteer landed with charing a disciplinary panel about sex & gender for an organisation whose CEO is full on TWAW. New to the role and obviously relying on MW for guidance.

I don't.

When you're young and relatively experienced to such senior roles you need to have sufficient insight to ask why you're being asked to take on such a substantial task and flattered as a Key Opinion Leader. The implicit upside is that you start off unpaid and progress up to the boondoggle carousel that we've seen so often. Progressing from one senior post in a voluntary organisation like Stonewall to another.

Never accept such a post without looking for bear traps and speaking to trusted people about whether there's a poisoned chalice somewhere.

Never ever agree to Chair a disciplinary proceeding like this when you're so inexperienced never mind the insufficient support and resources.

You're not being courted as a current or future KOL, you're being primed as cannon fodder and a disposable shield.

But yes MR was replying to the top tweet in the thread, not any of the others.
