Thanks for another excellent update on this case and I had not come across the second case before. I have stumbled over the Forstater case before ( a few hundred times😂).
Thank you for clearly setting out this case and it's background and relation to other important court cases. I'm watching this case with interest as lesbian feminists are now being discriminated against here in Australia, by the very Australian Human Rights Commission that should be defending and protecting us. Denying the Lesbian Action Group an exemption to hold events based on our beliefs that men cannot be women, and to claim our right to freedom of association (which includes our right to NOT associate) deserves protection under the Sex Discrimination Act. LAG is now taking our case to the Supreme Court. We must stand up for rights we once had and have now been eroded by privileged men.
"Maya is a feminist." Isn't it enough Maya is a WOMAN? Gender-critical actually gender EMBRACING, stop making up words to support non-argument, BIOLOGY>"identity", #terfisaslur & cis ideology (person who menstruates J.K. Rowling taught me those last 2 & happy 5th anniversary!).
No! Maya IS a feminist. Her beliefs in biological reality are based on feminist theory and principles. Feminism has also been hijacked and misappropriated by 'gender ideologues', so it is vital to use this as an argument. Same with LAVA.
Oh, however if a non-feminist stated that men can't be women and was sacked, that would be enough to complain for sure. In reality, the reason why so many of us believe Sex Matters and we need to be clear about it, is because we care about women's rights and can see that blurring the definitions of what is a women harms everyone but particularly women and girls.

Yup. What Margo says. Feminism is not an identity but the label for beliefs and actions that further women's rights. Precisely what Maya does.

Another fab instalment, thank you!
