Claiming constructive dismissal for GC beliefs.

ERC CEO is a well known transwoman know for controversial "reframe your trauma" remarks.

That does explain a lot.

@RedToothBrush a NB person not wishing to be defined by their sex is just that a wish.

I hope we get to a sensible legal position where sex and gender are two entirely separate things. Sex is M or F and everyone is one or the other.

So mandatory pronouns in say your email signature is in fact sensitive personal data and should not be added?

And presumably, one can't even suggest it. Why would you suggest people reveal sensitive data?

It's utterly unhinged, isn't it 🤣

And we'd have to hope that not too many people decide to be non-binary

"Non binary" identity would die a death in weeks if too many of the wrong sort of people decided to self identify as such.

Just thought of this (i know i know.. need to get a life)

employers are legally obliged to check that a person has the right to work in the UK, they have to retain a copy of passport/birth certificate.

So someone in a senior position involved in the appointment of the CEO at ERC. Would have known that she was a he.

So the CEO stating on twitter that he was never asked is subterfuge.

I'm doing my best!

I wonder if Sandy Brindley and Maggie Chapman and any other woman who had any hand in bringing Mridul on board is feeling any kind of regret or discomfort at the appointment yet or if they ever will?

No they didn’t and won’t. They are no friend to women.

If disclosing someone’s sex is a privacy issue, it’s not far off a breach of privacy to disclose someone as being a human being. After all, one could identify as a donkey/ extra-terrestrial and also be covered by belief. Indeed, how is a mere mortal supposed to know the differences without a medical degree and a forensic laboratory?

It is quite depressing that an organisation set up to tend to the needs of traumatised women seems to have been repurposed as a validation hub for the contentious belief of gender ideologues instead. The funding didn’t go (as it was supposed to) to help the woman who thankfully found help elsewhere. The purpose of that organisation is not as intended if women have to self exclude. That means women don’t find help, or very limited numbers can find solace in places like BP.

Depressingly predictable.

It's spelt

'Trojan Horse'

That event at the bookshop. What does "inclusion is beautiful but including is ugly" even mean?

I believe it means doing the including work in an organisation - changing views, ethos, including trans people - is hard work and so is ugly. But the end result of a diverse, progressive, inclusive org is beautiful.

And yes, I have listened to too many Mridul interviews and podcasts!

thank you, that makes more sense. But still not much sense at all.

Sadly people have been able to self declare their sex on their passport and driving licence by getting a letter from their GP - no need for a GRC.https://www.gov.uk/changing-passport-information/gender

So the check for the right to work in the uk potentially confirmed the self id sex.

Sounds like an argument for communism.

It sounds like a wordy version of "the end justifies the means".

Good point.

If GDPR is used to say we can't freely talk about things that are immediately obvious, working will become impossible.

I don't believe it was intended for this but it's being used, like the EA 2010 (thinking of the shield not a sword comment) as a way to bully people.

They don't even always need a GP letter. They can "sign a declaration" which is basically self ID. I was shocked to find this out the other day.

@Winnading So mandatory pronouns in say your email signature is in fact sensitive personal data and should not be added?

One of the arguments often used against mandatory pronouns is that they can out someone before they are ready.

Well if GDPR is used in the way that ERCC seem to be trying to use it at least it should be a death to preferred pronouns in the workplace. Sorry, no, to compel me to use really difficult, non-standard English and to treat pronouns like names taking up a huge mental load is a breach of GDPR, can't do it.

I don't think they've thought this through.

Sex-based pronouns for all is the only GDPR compliant option!

Who's looking at another day of low productivity?

So mandatory pronouns in say your email signature is in fact sensitive personal data and should not be added?

Exactly. Can they really be so stupid as to not see the contradiction here?* If revealing an employee's sex to another person is regarded as a breach of privacy, then you cannot mandate that people identify their sex in their email signature.

• Obviously, yes. They really are that stupid.
