Bloody brilliant

Helleofabore · 19/05/2024 23:15

can we hope the BBC reports on it?

Signalbox · 19/05/2024 23:15

Amazing news!

ArabellaScott · 19/05/2024 23:18

Wow.

DifficultBloodyWoman · 19/05/2024 23:23

I’m relieved for her. It is, of course, the correct out one.

Is it too much to hope for that ERC takes a good hard look at itself? The CEO is responsible for this but the people that hired him (the board?) also bear responsibility for their decision too.

About time.

So much for plans to go to sleep this side of midnight! I'm off to make cuppa and a bacon buttie and roll a fag and start reading!

That is bloody brilliant! 👏

Brilliant!

One would hope so. Reading parts of that judgement it's horrible to hear how the ERCC failed and retraumatised the women it is supposed to help.

But a great read. It's excoriating. When describing the investigation against Roz Adams, the judgement actually seriously mentions Kafka.

And we have WOPIAFS, to go along with its WORIADS twin: Worthy of protection in a free society.

Helleofabore · 19/05/2024 23:38

I like the sound of WOPIAFS. Thanks.

So, another case clearly showing that some organisations are so deeply ideological that they cannot tolerate other opinions. plus they believe flawed perspective from lobby groups and people offering ‘advice’ that ends up getting the organisation dragged through court cases that result in the public witnessing their incompetence and dishonesty.

I hope that organisations take note. (I say this yet seeing what the fuck the Scottish greens did this past week has left me with little hope really.)

I'm ready, and I'm going in! (Just the one rolled for now, but it's a big one!)

Is there any chance we could see the back of MW after this?

think this just goes to show that some organisations (stonewall, mermaids, WPATH etc. ) are so captured as to be beyond reform and simply need killing with fire.

WFTCHTJ · 19/05/2024 23:57

Woohoo! I'm not sure I'm going to be able to wade throught the whole judgment, but am looking forward to seeing the edited highlights tomorrow.

Persianpuss · 20/05/2024 00:12

Excellent news. I've just finished reading the judgment and there are some real gems in there!! A couple of annoying instances of them referring to "biological gender" but other than that the tribunal seem to have fully grasped all of the issues.

As we expected at the time, the tribunal didn't believe much of the respondent's witness evidence and drew adverse inferences from the fact that the two most important people that were involved didn't provide evidence. I think the tribunal actually said "refused" to provide evidence. Roz emerges as an entirely truthful and credible witness.

The tribunal also said something like the respondent followed an "extreme version" of gender identity theory.

Couldn't have gone any better for Roz. So pleased for her (and all of us!).

Ramblingnamechanger · 20/05/2024 00:22

Congratulations to Roz and her team. Time for MW and others to stand down and for the organisation to return to basic principles. Now off to read the judgement.
