Sandie Peggie and her supporters may being claiming victory in her Tribunal case but it is at best a very minor win and may well prove to be a pyrrhic victory for the GC brigade as the judgement demolishes many of their arguments for excluding trans people.

We've written & published a short summary statement regarding the Sandie Peggie V NHS Fife Health Board employment tribunal case & the judgment given yesterday. Much of the media coverage has missed key information, the most important aspect being that all claims against Dr Beth Upton were dismissed

So the court found that this was a grift. The scenario, was avoidable if communicated clearly with their employer, but Sandie Peggie took steps to fabricate a situation where she could protest her beliefs on when alone with Dr Upton, with no other witnesses around, waiting for her to leave a cubical

Jackie Baillie, Mel Ward, Claire Baker, Joani Reid and Anas Sarwar all publicly backed Sandie Peggie in her employment tribunal case.

Yesterday that tribunal ruled that Peggie unlawfully harassed Beth Upton.

Scottish Labour must now apologise to Dr Upton for this catastrophic failure of judgement.

Pretty embarrassing and damning response to the evidence @MForstater (@SexMattersOrg) provided in the Sandie Peggie tribunal.
As we’ve always said: Anti-trans ideology and arguments rely heavily on anecdote, opinion and misinformation over hard evidence, as demonstrated here.

She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

This is the first headline I’ve seen on this case that actually centres Beth Upton. All the others I’ve seen so far say things like “Partial Victory for Sandie Peggie” which is biased and misleading.
'After two years of being subject to relentless criticism which saw her attacked on the front pages of leading newspapers and talked about incessantly on social media, Dr. Beth Upton has been cleared on all counts.'

“Partial victory” is such an upbeat way of saying “almost every part of this case was dismissed except one bit”

Sandie Peggie: I can't really think of an example of anything else recently where the media has so misrepresented what actually happened? It's not "clever" language, it's not even what happened with Israel. It's just incorrect.

Like it does feel like a bit of an escalation.

Joke tweet Gold cup of the day award goes to Kemi Badenoch who thinks that Sandie Peggie ‘won’ her case against Fife NHS and Dr Upton when Ms Peggie was the one found to have harassed Dr Upton and the trust made some minor procedural errors.

Looking at the papers and broadcast media today having read the press summary of the Sandie Peggie judgment is wild.

They either haven’t read it or are lying about it.

And then people wring their hands about trust in institutions or bemoan people resorting to social media for news.

Tribunal: *finds that Sandie Peggie harassed Dr Beth Upton*
British Press: Hahaha no, that's not the story we already decided we like, they must have said it wrong, we'll just say the opposite thing happened ☺️
#C4News went above & beyond, reporting:

"a nurse has won a harassment claim against Dr Beth Upton."

No she didn't. NHS FIFE harassed her, not Upton.

This is almost defamatory, & they mentioned none of the dismissed parts or the implications for trans women in SS spaces. I complained to Ofcom.

You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter.

What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

‘Blanket’ ban of trans people from gender-appropriate facilities likely unlawful.

Sandie Peggie harassed Dr Upton, not the other way round.

Employer guilty of minor procedural faults.

It’s maddening that I just heard this tribunal decision covered on BBC News, which led with “Sandie Peggie wins her case,” expanded with “Sandie Peggie secures a partial victory,” then only on listening further did it become clear she actually lost on most of the substantive points she was pursuing.

Also worth noting, the Tribunal found that Sandie Peggie had harassed Dr Beth Upton in a "hate incident".
