Female NHS Fife worker suspended after objecting to sharing changing room with TW

Hopefully the fact that they want to keep this secret will provoke intense media interest as the hospital explains why a woman is required to undress in front of a random man who claims to be a women. Should be fascinating to hear their argument.

Secret tribunal you say. Well that’s my interest piqued, it’s so much more interesting when they scurry around trying to conceal their dirty dealings. Will keep a special eye out for news on this one so I can spread the info they’re trying to hide as far as possible.

It’s comforting to know that Naomi will be representing the nurse- who wouldn’t want Naomi fighting their corner??

Hoping the hearing will not be held in private. The very request makes people go ‘hmmmm I wonder why?’

Disgusting treatment of the nurse- treated like she’s done something wrong 😠

Jane Russell was involved in Maya Forstater and I think Allison Bailey, both for the respondents.

She was Andrew Hochhauser's junior counsel for Bailey. I can't remember whether it was Forstater or Bailey in which she mentioned MN and said that she didn't want to be misquoted or something.

And I am delighted by this because Naomi was amazing in the ERCC case and Jane was at best mediocre in the Allison Bailey case so I am looking forward to how they are in this case

Nothing piques my interest more than organisations trying to keep something secret.

Organisations always want to hide their poor treatment of women.
Hopefully they won't succeed.

I wonder why a NHS trust would want to keep this case private… such a significant case too. Mmmm…

So much sunlight in this case.

On the side of the man.

Hopefully their machinations will have a Streisand effect.

I was just thinking exactly that! They won't be able to stop people talking about it, and the judgment will have to be public.

They can identify it as private if they want, so long as the public gets to hear exactly what they are up to.

Ugh, sorry about the formatting.

Wow.

Two top London barristers have been drafted to represent both sides in the case.
Naomi Cunningham, who represented caseworker Roz Adams when she won a tribunal against Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centretre*, is acting for the nurse.^
Jane Russell, a high-profile employment tribunal specialist, is acting for Fife Health Boardard* and the co-respondent who is the transwoman.^

Jane Russell was involved in Maya Forstater and I think Allison Bailey, both for the respondents.

I bet they are.

Update…

“A health board facing landmark legal action by a nurse suspended after complaining about a transwoman in a female changing room is fighting to have proceedings held in secret.

“NHS Fife are spending public money to stop the ten-day hearing - which could cost around £200,000 - from becoming public.”

Sadly I have a few more necessary years in the workforce to fully out myself but there will soon come a time where the zenith of the anti woman activism will coincide with a large number of women reaching the age when they retire and don't have to factor in how standing up for their rights affects their livelihood and also will have the time to get involved in politics, grass roots activism, charities and gschool governors .

this will also coincide with three other significant developments;
1 younger women of the be kind ilk both becoming mums and aunties with the natural instinct to protect their young girls kicking in plus greater life experience of how biology impacts their lives
2.gen z kids getting older and deciding 200 genders, flags and pronouns are seriously uncool and
3 Mass litigation starting in the US because of the ease of litigation finding their and an active plaintiff bar looking to earn big bucks against the medics involved, drug manufacturers, employers and premises that allow mixed sex facilities where women are attacked or spied on. Follow the money ...women might not matter but money always talks ...

us late onset feminists will soon be unstoppable

I'm not sure I would pass as a feminist, but I know what is right and what is wrong, and will shout about it.

“And that is the upside of this issue. It has created what I call late onset feminism, in so many women, me included.”

This is me too @Datun

How dare a woman not follow the brave and special script.

What a fucking pig that man is. She did not fawn sufficiently or play along nicely and ask him where he got his fucking shoes from. Fuming.

Apple catchers!

They are captured almost completely. They will be on the side of the TW not the nurse.

I fear that this will be the case. Women are going to need to shout loudly and clearly to be heard.

It is not just that the EA isn’t clear, it is also that the single sex exceptions are optional. Now that so many employers, facilities and institutions have made a mockery of that, by choosing not to use them, for fear of upsetting men with dishonest intentions, it is time to make them obligatory.

I think it is clear that the EA isn’t working for the protected category of sex, and we need a separate Women’s Act.
