Forstater judgment tomorrow

[achillestoes]

In case we hadn’t had enough drama.

Good luck, Maya.

Look, we all know from experience that if you handed MaragaritaPie the stick the right way round, they’d grasp the wrong end of it so for once can we not get derailed by playing pigeon chess and just concentrate on celebrating Maya’s brilliant brave win?

BenCoopersSupportWren - I'm with you - let's crack open the veno, champagne, or whatever people prefer. I'm going to have a large whisky, and watch the Women's Euro's opening match.
Cheers 🍷🍾🍹

I don't even have a O level in law.

But even my non legal brain can get itself around the scenario where if A is found guilty of murdering B, A is not also subsequently found guilty of their manslaughter too.

--Waits to be told I'm wrong

Stonewall tweeting as if they haven't just been through similar legal action due to their actions towards a Lesbian woman who they felt wasn't entitled to express her philosophical beliefs.

but you have a GCSE in MAKIGN TEXT BIGLY, amirite?

The trans! Won't anyone think of the trans!

How did you make the writing go massive, @Cuck00soup ??

Me too. I'm well jell (though I do have an O level in law) I'd swop it gladly for the big writings

Ooh what is big writings? I haven't got that on my screen.

It's not because I have big font size turned on on my phone is it?

Sorry I can't tell you the secret 🤐

Screenshot of your post compared to the previous.

The best bit was that for a little while, from my "threads I'm on" page, I could just see the first line of your post in massive letters, declaring "I DONT EVEN HAVE AN O LEVEL IN LAW"

This has been the most extraordinary day all round, and then we get big writing. It's too much.

It is one of life's many crushing disapointments that Cuckoo doesn't know how to replicate the big writings!

You know what they say. Go big or ... don't.

My god, India Willoughby is coming out with some absolutely batshit stuff. Saying that this compares to 1930s Nazi germany for trans people?!

When will these people realise it is about women, not everything is centred on trans.

India has previously claimed that India has a cervix.....not sure how that happened unless India purchased one on the internet and carries it around in a handbag or something - so we can be excused for thinking India's grasp on reality is tentative at best.

Sorry if this has already been said, but the way employment tribunals work is you usually try several different legal strategies/ arguments in the alternatives. So you might have direct discrimination as your primary claim, then in the alternative indirect discrimination, or harassment, or victimisation. Direct discrimination is the hardest thing to prove and win in employment claims, and it is not unusual to see the tribunal award indirect discrimination instead. Maya didn't need to win all of her arguments, as you only need to convince the tribunal of one in order to get damages. This is as strong a win as you can get in an employment tribunal context (if you read the judgment practically everything Maya's barrister said was picked up and endorsed by the tribunal.) So Maya won her claim, and the other side will have to pay her costs and damages for discriminating against her. She doesn't get her job back as relations between the employer and herself have irrevocably broken down (due to her being discriminated against.) I just hate this 'fake news' percolating that Maya has somehow not fully won because not all of her points were taken up. It was redundant! She had already won!

What the actual heck is this text size about?!

Anyone looking forward to the glorious moment that Stonewall get taken to court and get pwned?

Cos its gonna happen isn't it?

The way I saw it described as she has won the gold so doesn't also take home the silver and bronze.

Not a lawyer so don't know if that is correct but she has WON!!

Allison Bailey is already on it, of course...

This is fantastic news, I'm so happy for Maya, and in awe of her bravery and tenacity.

I'm still finding myself in disbelief that it came to this, it's utterly ridiculous in some ways that any of this occurred. But we are not living in an entirely sane world, are we? Still, a big chunk of sanity was restored today thanks to Maya, her team, and everyone who has supported them.

That's a great analogy for all those of us not-lawyers 😁

Allison Bailey is on it.

Julie Bindel's handling Nottingham City Council. Although half their supporters thought she was Julie Burchill, so Christ knows who they think they're up against.

Perhaps she can identify as Burchill.

Anyone got a Btech or a Baccalaureate?

How about passing the 11 plus?!
