Gender again. Sorry!

The outcome is not quite what you think. You see this as a victory of the rights of the group you say you favour over another. What this case clearly demonstrates is that government is not afraid to emasculate the highest courts in order to assert their authority. In effect it diminishes the very sovereignty of parliament that Brexit was said to ensure. Instead it enabled a power grab.

Women's rights are not protected when human rights are first abused and later abolished. While women's rights might seem to you to be protected, this has not come without cost. When human rights are given as the reason to abolish human rights, we ought know that we have strayed from the path. The SC ruling will not change the minds of those who were already calling for that.

Neither should you overlook the absurdities that result from this legal fiction. On the one hand trans women are woman enough in law to marry a man without it being a same sex marriage. A trans woman marrying a woman continues to be under the law as a same sex marriage. She is now not considered woman enough to pee in a private space inside a public toilet where men are allowed despite the sign on the door, and without available law to exclude them.

In which re write any law that's in contradiction of biological fact.

End this nightmare once for all

That sounds like a very final solution.

What would you propose?

Nothing nuanced now.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense could have told you this outcome- apart from DIE HR department

The most serious allegation - that Peggie left a room with a patient in because Upton arrived - was an allegation made by Upton 3 months after the event, after the changing room issue arose, and for which there was no corroboration other than his claim. Shameful what the trust have put her through to avoid dealing with the actual issue.

Sandra Peggie's employment tribunal resumes today. Hard to see how the NHS will defend themselves in view of her now being exonerated.

The process is the punishment though and suspending her was intended to deter others from speaking out imo.
