M Newman V Met Police Employment Tribunal

[Justme56]

Just wondering if anyone is following this on TT. It’s quite bizarre. The first witness attended the Trans Training session which I gather is where the discrimination stems (see attached statement) and has been questioned by AM the barrister for the police. AM is referencing the Wikipedia page of Kellie Jay Keen as evidence. Apparently wiki is not anti gender critical. 🤷🏻‍♀️. It seems to be covering a whole host of other stuff too - quite an eye opener.

Well you have to sign up to a free trial to see it, which I might do tomorrow, but wondered if anyone wanted a bet on whether safeguarding legislation / statutory guidance is mentioned at all or if it's all EA 2010 all the way?

Given the ostentatious and luxury beliefs we’ve seen out of KCL around sex and gender I suspect anyone who takes the bet will lose.

KCL is the 'independent study team' who will be doing the puberty blockers trial.

I'd like to see their definition of 'independent' to be honest.

True.

However, I was thinking of their previous form wrt things like this.

I have just seen on X that Melanie will be appealing the judgement in her tribunal and will be represented by Naomi Cunningham. You can find her garden by searching for 'Speakers in the workplace should not harass gender critical employees'.

Linzi Smith v Northumbria Police might be relevant here.

I've committed my budget for this month but will consider supporting them at the end of the month.
