“We are in the vanguard of a powerful and necessary movement that is turning the tide on gender identity ideology”
Milestone: Lesbian Barrister Allison Bailey has won the discrimination case against her employer
Just as Maya Forstater before her, Allison Bailey has shown that it is possible to fight back against “gender” identity ideology - and win.
In her article on 4w, Jo Bartosh sums up Bailey’s composure during the 6-week trial: “Her resolute rebuttal ... spoke of a lifetime of having to politely correct bigoted bores without rising to their bait.”
In her own press statement, Bailey explains why this case is so important: “The litigation was part of a pushback by gender critical feminists against attempts to replace biological sex with notions of self-identified gender identity”
Her employer, the Garden Court Chamber, has to pay Bailey £22,000 in compensation. Apparently, this is quite high: “Such was the oppressiveness of Garden Court’s actions against her, the Tribunal awarded aggravated damages, which are only awarded where a discriminator’s actions are particularly unnecessary, high handed or oppressive.” (from Bailey’s press statement)
Bailey says, “this case was never about money. I did not win everything, but I won the most important thing: I have brought Stonewall’s methods into the public eye, and I have shown them for what they now are.”
The “transgender” lobby organisation Stonewall maintains in a statement that it did not cause Bailey’s employer to discriminate against her. The group goes even a step further by saying that “the case heard by the Employment Tribunal did not accurately reflect our intentions and our influence on organisations.”
Never to miss an opportunity to present its ideology in every piece of writing, Stonewall manages to shoehorn into a 227-word statement about the Allison Bailey case:
- a lengthy description of their Diversity Champions Programme
- how proud they are of themselves (x2)
- that they are fighting for Afghans, lesbian and bi women, and a ban of Conversion Practices
- keywords: inclusive (x2), equity, freedom, harm, and LGBTQ+ (x5)
Allison Bailey’s courage and persistance has paid off. She is an inspiration for all women and an example for how important this fight back really is.
