This is an absolute nightmare of a case. If you've not been aware of it before now it's time to wake up and take a hard look at what is happening in women's support services across the UK. There seems to be a concerted effort to dismantle women's boundaries and withdraw support from vulnerable women who need spaces away from men.

So happy to read this Judgement, hopefully it will help getting MW sacked for Gross Misconduct, it would be fitting.

I listened to the evidence at the Tribunal and every one of the respondent's witnesses were sycophants, all told the Judge what a wonderful woman MW is, after not being asked this question. All completely captured by gender ideology.

MW did not give evidence, which the tribunal drew negative inference.

The board members are very young and not much experience and I believe were all appointed by MW.

They whole lot need to go and be replaced with people that centre the victims of sexual violence and not a place to display your virtue and allyship.

Mridul may well see himself** as wonderful, may truly believe that he's there to convert people to see the importance of gender, may genuinely feel that this outweighs every possible disadvantage to the users of the services. He may have no ulterior motive at all beyond that. It barely matters.

He still led the service into a state where active disadvantage to the users was ignored and those who pointed it out were vilified. So, however sincere his motives, he should go.

** Legally male, as well as biologically, I believe.

He is a disgrace and needs sacking.

IW has not read the same judgement as other people. Screenshots from the FWS Twitter feed.

Do we have a list of the board members and their affiliations?

India Willoughby will never be able to see a women's viewpoint on this. IW's views are not worth giving headspace, as they only ever consider the trans side, not the female side.

Am so sick and tired of men cosplaying at being women whilst telling actual women that their experiences aren't relevant.

Dear me, is India identifying as a legal expert today?

If so, India is not passing.

It was ever thus.

For those in Scotland, if you want to ask for an enquiry into what is going on in Rape Crisis Scotland and/or ERCC, writing to your MSP may be a good start.

Having read the judgment in full, AB also needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Yes, absolutely. Shouldn't have been appointed in the first place.

A GRC is just a piece of paper, not an X chromosome.

Can you give us some reasons why a man might make a more suitable CEO at a RCC?

No problem, happy to state the obvious.

Do you think that the CEO of a multi national cooperation does the same things day to day as a the CEO of small business. You seem unable to differentiate between a large company and a charity. There may be very little in the way of "senior management" between the executive board and employees in smaller organisations so a CEO will quite likely deal face to face with non management employees and clients. Source - two CEO's of small/medium businesses of my acquaintance.

In my example the management at my GP surgery would not accuse me of bigotry for requesting a woman to do my smear test so no I wouldn't give a shit what sex they are. FYI GP surgeries employ practice managers so that doctors can stick to medicine.

Well, yes, I agree. But given that he is just as much a man as any other man, he has no claim or legal right whatsoever for taking that job.

This judgement must be so difficult for the management and funders connected to Edinburgh Rate Crisis. I sincerely hope they are able to reframe their trauma.

“Overblown” is what the judgement says. I agree.

This with bells and fucking whistles on.

Absolutely. If there were any doubt in my post, I'm sorry.
