“… judgment said that, while Peggie had been “harassed” by the health board, she had not been “victimised or discriminated” against by having to undress before a male-bodied trans doctor,”
So Kemp seriously thinks it’s OK to force women to undress in front of men.

Alexander Kemp’s tribunal judgment in the NHS trans case is full of errors. The Scottish government must decide if it agrees with him on the Supreme Court

Robin, do you seriously think left wing feminist & trade unionist women campaigning for their political & legal rights to single sex services, provisions & sports when sex matters, are 'transphobes'?
If so why are you advocating for males at the expense of women & claiming to be liberal/left?

'Trans rights' giving virulent misogynists a place to peddle their hatred of women is one of the ugliest attacks on women's rights I've seen in my lifetime. Every time I encounter a male 'trans ally' I'm disgusted by their deep-rooted contempt. Like seeing Andrew Tate draped in a pink and blue flag.
