[Bardonnay]

Sorry to link to the DM but they've covered Maya Forstater's upcoming court case here:

Maya's account of events is here and her post links to updates about the case: https://medium.com/@MForstater/i-lost-my-job-for-speaking-up-about-womens-rights-2af2186ae84

I wish Nick F would learn to say 'sex'.

And that last TW repeating the false suicide stats. Grrr.

Sorry. That was supposed to be posted after Bessyk at 10.00. (Lost my signal)

Supported - and thanks for expanding on the belief question.

👍👏 solidarity with Maya 👍👏

Good luck, brave lady!

Best of luck tomorrow Maya, and thank you for doing this

Good luck .

The very best of luck, Maya.

Good luck, Maya.

Common sense would say that a belief that is based on factual evidence must be defendable, otherwise religious belief cannot be defended.
Does anyone know if this is a test case?

Good luck Maya

I hope it goes well Maya. Thanks for updating here. It would be great if someone who is at the hearing could post an update here.

Good luck Maya.

Agree, it's a fact not a belief, because it is physically impossible for people to change sex. It's possible to have surgery to make you appear to be the opposite sex, but it's not possible to actually change your sex. It's crazy that we are even having to say this.

Good luck Maya and thanks for taking this on.

This is a really important case, thanks for explaining the "belief" aspect on this thread, Maya.
So, knowledge of science can be seen as belief-based in certain contexts, like this one.

Good luck Maya, will be watching closely the outcome of this case.

Good luck, wish I was as brave as you.

Lots of luck and ket us know if there are any more holes that need digging.

Best of luck Maya and thanks for taking this on and for the update too.

Good Luck Maya and thank you.

That's an interesting and subtle point about "capable of being a philosophical belief, albeit that it may be based entirely on scientific conclusions".

Thank you for posting that, PencilsInSpace – I'd been sharing other posters' apprehension about "belief".

And thank you Bardonnay for the thread, and indeed Maya for the court case.

Good luck Maya, I look forward to hearing updates. Thank you for taking this on.

If gender identity is found to be a belief then it can't be imposed on non believers, just as RC beliefs on contraception can't be imposed on non RCs.
This is serious stuff, good luck Maya -I'm in awe.

It’s quite heartening that the TRAs thought they could entrench their position (and silence women) with strategic litigation, but women and GC men like Harry are making all the running at the moment. Hope all goes well tomorrow, Maya!

Wishing Maya all the very best.

Forstater speaks the truth.

Good luck Maya.
