Tempest (a TW) is claiming discrimination, harassment and/or victimisation on grounds of gender reassignment. Central to the claim is the existence of the Sex Equality and Equity Network in the Civil Service (SEEN). SEEN has been granted right to intervene. Parts of the original claim against the co-chair of SEEN (Elspeth Duemmer-Wrigley) and another party (Andreas Mueller) were struck out or narrowed. Another claimant, PQ, is no longer part of the case.

Please note that Elspeth still has a garden in need of seeds and water to support the ability of SEEN to be an intervenor in this case. The claim originated because she said "only women menstruate" and a search with her name and those terms at the usual gardening website should point you to her plot.

CA - we are trying to stop people squabbling on yammer If ST had stopped and not gone on to additional post. We want people to do it in respectful way Discussion on who dealt with Yammer Viva after CA retired.

Trouble is he seemed unable to stop himself and needed his bosses to act like mummy and daddy and monitor his screen time.
