Thanks.
I am Andreas Mueller. I work for an arm’s length body to a government department. I am being sued for gender critical statements I made at work, and for my involvement in co-founding SEEN, a gender critical staff network.
Summary
A colleague is taking me, a government department and the Arms-Length Body (ALB) where I work to an Employment Tribunal. I am being sued for expressing gender critical beliefs at work. The claimant is also trying to shut down the gender critical SEEN (Sex Equality and Equity Network) staff network that I co-chair.
'Update:
The case has been settled.
After nearly two years, my employment tribunal has reached a conclusion. The claimant — granted anonymity and referred to as PQ, a trans-identifying male — requested to settle. I believe this is because PQ and his lawyers were finally compelled to accept what I have known throughout: the case against me was unwinnable. I had never harassed him as he claimed. The case was settled on the 20th March 2026, and the claimant has informed the employment tribunal of the withdrawal of his claim.
Why this case was brought
I was pursued because I expressed my protected belief that sex is binary, immutable, and sometimes matters — even in the workplace — and because I helped found the Sex Equality and Equity Network (SEEN) in Defra Group. The case began in April 2024. It was unjust, from start to finish.
As part of the settlement, PQ requested confidentiality and a non-disparagement clause. I refused both conditions outright. Accepting them would have prevented me from speaking freely and accurately about what I have been through — silencing me in the very way this case sought to silence me from the start. That would have compounded the injustice, not resolved it. You donated so that I could fight. Part of that fight is being able to tell the truth about it.

Throughout this process I received absolutely no support from my employer, my trade union, or my legal expenses insurance. The toll on my family has been real and I will not pretend otherwise. But now it’s over. This malicious attempt to ‘punish’ me for saying what most of us know has comprehensively failed, and that is a big relief.'
