I would like to once again emphasise that the ET entirely exonerated (and indeed went out of its way to say it was doing so) the trans woman who has been so publicly monstered in this case.
Still not seen the full judgment, but notably the ET dismissed the harassment claim against Rose Henderson, the trans woman in the Darlington Nurses case.
Yet another trans woman who has been publicly demonised after doing nothing wrong.

The effective conclusion of the ET is that trans people have to use third spaces. I think based on very poor legal analysis and uncritical adoption of "gender critical" talking points. But as I say, not binding, and all the relevant issues hopefully to be decided shortly by the High Court.

Is this a precursor to sex in the 1992 regs being changed to the definition in the Equality Act after the SC ruling? As far as I know, workplace regs should still be defining sex as per the GRA. I know this isn’t binding, but I can imagine it will be used in the future.

“It also raises questions about how you balance the protections from discrimination both women and transgender people have” - surely however you choose to define “woman” there’s overlap between these two groups? BBC doing fuck all to beat the systemic transphobia allegations

Obviously the Darlington nurses judgement is very important for trans folks, but it is important enough to get the live story treatment on BBC News? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...
Judgement due after nurses challenge NHS trust for allowing trans woman to use female changing room
Eight nurses are challenging a policy which allows a single-sex room to be used by Rose Henderson, a biological male who identifies as a woman.

Virgin Active decided to restrict changing room access based on 'biological sex'. We're acting for, and financially supporting, a non-binary transmasculine person and a trans woman who are suing it for breaching the Equality Act.
