[Jo Marshall @JoFMarshall]

Naomi Cunningham has represented gender-critical clients, to date, in multiple tribunals using accurate sex pronouns, without judicial rebuke.
In the Sandie Peggie case last year, even Judge Kemp allowed Sandie’s team to do exactly that, as sex was material to the claim.
Today, it is disappointing to observe that a different judge has directed Naomi to use “they/them” for a claimant with a GRC in the SEEN v Defra case.
This is surely compelled speech: forcing Naomi to affirm a belief she rejects in open court. Gender-critical belief is protected. Accurate language on material facts (sex) is core to justice, not “harassment.” Courts should not be policing pronouns to favour one ideology.
Plus what about ECHR Articles 9 and 10?
Naomi will, no doubt, have plenty to say about all of this in due course, having recently written an article about the interrelationship between pronouns and their Equal Treatment Bench Book. https://t.co/XvASBLsJwt

1. 🚨BREAKING: County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has paid £187,000 in damages, apologised, and committed to separate changing facilities for male and female staff following the Darlington nurses’ legal case.

In January, the Employment Tribunal had found the nurses suffered harassment and indirect sex discrimination over workplace changing-room arrangement.

The case, brought by seven nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital, Bethany Hutchison, Lisa Lockey, Karen Danson, Tracy Hooper, Annice Grundy, Carly Hoy and Jane Peveller, was supported by the Christian Legal Centre, which has provided the nurses with legal, media and pastoral support from the beginning of their ordeal.

The case has become one of the most significant legal challenges in recent years concerning the freedom of female staff to access single-sex spaces in the workplace, with the nurses being compared to the Ford Dagenham workers and being dubbed ‘The Angels of the North.’

In January, Employment Judge Seamus Sweeney, ruled that the policy, which had been in place at the Trust for years allowing men who identify as women to access the female staff changing room, had amounted to unlawful discrimination.

Following extensive and at times deeply protracted negotiations, the Trust has now paid out £187,000 in damages to the nurses, which does not include legal costs, which are still to be decided at a further hearing.

This figure also does not include the Trust’s own legal costs of £603,000, and counting, spent on defending its position of allowing men into female changing rooms.

@SteveChalke Could you please:

(1) link to the evidence showing that conversion practices, consisting of abusive conduct which is not already criminalised, are taking place in this country?

(2) explain what you mean by conversion practices against trans identified people?

Secretly admitting a trans-identifying boy to a girls-only school is not only a betrayal of the girls’ trust and contrary to the EA, it makes a complete mockery of the notion of safeguarding

Well, no, I don’t.

My choir - which specialises in singing at charity running events - has been dropped from Sunday's London Marathon.

Because I don't believe people can change sex - and said so publicly.

We were dropped by the disability charity Scope - who we've supported for the past two years - on the basis of two anonymous complaints. About MY gender critical beliefs.

So not only am I being discriminated against due to my lawfully held views - so are other people.

After months of preparation ... disappointed is not the word.

Suffice to say, if there are any organisations out there who are happy to welcome volunteers with lawfully held beliefs on sex and gender, we'd love to be your 'cheer squad' at Sunday's London Marathon.

Our running themed 'set list' is always a hit with runners and we bring fun, enthusiasm and props in spades (hence the 'Eye Of The Tiger' mask).

We'd love to help support runners raise money for good causes at this year's London Marathon - as we have done in previous years.
