I recently started university as a mature student and was asked to complete some diversity and inclusion training online.
As I suspected it would be, they completely misrepresented the Equality Act, quoting the protected characteristics of gender instead of sex and gender identity instead of gender assignment.
It also talks about making sure all students feel accepted and safe but this training makes me feel anything but safe due to my gender critical beliefs.
I really wanted to address this with them and I think I will send an email. Can anyone give me any pointers? I know my belief is protected because of Maya Forstater and I really want to get that across so that they know they are not legally able to penalise me because I don’t believe in gender.
I’m quite nervous but I think this is too important to ignore.
