They say that their witness statement alone is a sufficient warrant to disapply Article 8 rights for trans people, as if Maya Forstater has discovered a new spell “Revocatus Conventionium, I hereby revoke your rights.”

When progressive government (read: a Green/Lib Dem coalition) finally returns to Westminster, a priority must be to revise relevant laws so that demonstrably bigoted views - racism/'race realism', transphobia/'gender critical'/'sex realism' - are treated as the hate speech they are.
Wow, look what the Forstater case has unlocked…
