Tempest (a TW) is claiming discrimination, harassment and/or victimisation on grounds of gender reassignment. Central to the claim is the existence of the Sex Equality and Equity Network in the Civil Service (SEEN). SEEN has been granted right to intervene. Parts of the original claim against the co-chair of SEEN (Elspeth Duemmer-Wrigley) and another party (Andreas Mueller) were struck out or narrowed. Another claimant, PQ, is no longer part of the case.

Please note that Elspeth still has a garden in need of seeds and water to support the ability of SEEN to be an intervenor in this case. The claim originated because she said "only women menstruate" and a search with her name and those terms at the usual gardening website should point you to her plot.

The scene where the nascent Brian-based religions suddenly splinter in different directions ..

-- the shoe, the shoe is a sign!, let us like him hold up one shoe and let the other be upon our foot!
-- no!, we must seek out shoes and collect them in abundance!
-- the gourd, follow the holy gourd of Jerusalem!

You probably could going forward but why would you want to, it’s clear language and the SC was clear bio sex matters.

Not really to do with this thread, but Akua R has just commented that the EHRC CoP has presumably passed

Alan’s deep bath, brought to you by Dettol. 😂

🤯 I shall definitely try to watch some of them. I’m so glad my kids schools have stayed relatively sane. Bamboozling when you get slated for taking any sort of drugs (antihistamines for a start) whilst pregnant incase it damages the baby, yet it’s ok to give them something that could potentially cause infertility.

I'm just being pedantic. I think it's irrelevant anyway because the consequences of being somebody who might become/might have become pregnant or somebody who has been pregnant are so wide reaching and go far beyond the months when maternity rights apply.

Catching up, so apols if someone's already pointed this out:

ODFOD

covers it nicely, doesn't it? If not, there's always the classic 'I refer you to the answer given in the case of Arkell vs Pressdram'. So much more ladylike than the draft created by Boily, who never did finish finishing school.🙄 (But I still love her.)
