Article in the Times. Sorry I don't have a share token, only an archive link.

As a scientist at Porton Down developing technology to secure Britain’s defences, Peter Wilkins never imagined he would be considered a threat because of a belief in biology.
But when he stated his gender-critical views and support for the concept of immutable sex, Wilkins was reported for his “ideology” and labelled by colleagues as transphobic, “sad and pathetic” and “a rubbish employee”.
An employment tribunal has found there was a “clear hostile animus” towards gender-critical beliefs at the top-secret Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL). It found that an intimidating atmosphere resulted in the harassment and discrimination of Wilkins, 43, who was forced to leave as a result.

What with the Nature, Cell, so many biology learned societies, (not even including "playing-at-being-science" magazines like New Scientist and SciAm) being captured, and now this, I really am beginning to believe that this ideology is a brain-eating mind virus.

Gosh, I so wish we’d been privy to this one.

When do you think employers will learn? Staff networks are the bane of my life

After years and years of so many high-profile court cases, I've come to the sad conclusion that these people will never learn. Because they are, or are totally captured by, True Believers in the Righteous pseudoreligion. Each loss is like the apocalypse that didn't happen, which was merely sent to test their Righteous Faith.

I honestly want to cry. How did we get here?

Of course the fact that he’s Christian will be seized upon to prove that he’s the irrational party.

How can we ever get back from here? This morning, despite the court’s findings, I feel despair.

Wow, would have loved to see Tribunal Tweets at that one. Particularly the Paul Kealey evidence,

I wonder how much effort was put into keeping it out of the media until afterwards. For all their work, still cowards.
