Was wondering if anyone knows about Helen Webberley & GenderGP, her appeal against suspension

A question has also been asked
As to whether or not her offshore firm is still being allowed to supply blockers given the complaint about the pharmacy who were filling out the prescriptions.

And has there has been any movement regarding regulatory involvement?

@highame

Looks like Kat is limbering up to explain why, with such abominable treatment, she isn't taking the case to an employment tribunal. Maybe sweetening everyone up for a crowd funder. Interesting though

Even if Kat could prove Kat was an employee, where would Kat take it to tribunal? Where was Kat contracted/employed (as in which country)? Gender GP is apparently not a UK company so presumably Kat was working remotely for someone abroad? Though I would be very interesting if they managed to show they GenderGP were operating in the UK and I imagine certain regulators would be too.

Good point Lovelyricepudding! I'd not thought of that.

Yes and I suspect they capitalise on this fact very heavily and to the detriment of their employees.

Don’t they have a crowdfunded to take the Greens to court for discrimination?

Or is that the wrong person?

This is the person who was co-chair of the women’s committee who post wonderful tweets about crying because they were on estrogen and womanly. Gosh they were an aspiration. I learned a lot about the plight of women from that one.

What on earth did they expect? They can't possibly still believe this organisation is run for altruistic reasons, can they?


(I think I know the answer).

From one of those articles it's interesting to see how they run the financial side of things. It appears that they charge an initial registration fee, a monthly fee and then prescription charges on top.

//www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-transgender-student-tells-crisis-20605612 - whodathunkit's link above

"Because even the sign-up fee is upwards of £200 and once you've subscribed it's a fee of £30 pounds per month then £60 per consultation and then above that the cost of any prescription."

That seems a strange (at best) way to run something that's meant to be a medical treatment.

I think same person; I believe they're suing the greens. Which will severely hurt the party.

Well they also have one for facial feminisation surgery too. It is not doing very well at all.

So, they are suing the Greens due to the Greens dropping them as a candidate for a local election.

A complaint was made against me that alleged I was putting the party at 'immediate risk’ by saying that my sex is female in response to the 2021 census.

Is from their crowdfunder.

I won't say all the things I wish to as it would be deleted. But it really does seem to be that this person expects to be heralded as a heroic brave figure and given more leniency than typically afforded to Political party candidates / employees. And then when the reality is they are treated as just another candidate or employee and not a magic one, it is too hard to cope with.

There really does need to be some responsibility taken for this lack of mental health by a community who advocates so strongly for 'safe' discussions and 'safe' environments that are in reality completely sanitised cocoons. And responsibility taken by the adult themselves for not seeking appropriate mental health care for their underlying health issues.

I actually hope that the Greens do go forth with this court case. It would be remarkable to see the dirty washing aired and it may stop the belief that some people can operate as a sacred sub group to the rest of society.

In saying that. I also hope that Gender GP and other organisations start to dramatically reduce the % of contractors these organisations use and start employing people and giving them appropriate employment benefits.
