The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace.
'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't bother consulting the 1992 regulations guaranteeing single-sex spaces when she told a trans-identified male, Dr Beth Upton, to use the female changing room at the hospital where he was working. Bumba justified this decision with comments that I assume sounded really clever and convincing, inside her own head.
'I don’t know anything about Beth’s body. I didn’t at the time. I don’t now. I don’t need to know. But it wouldn’t be something that I would ever have the information of exactly what she is made of, biologically.'
Kate Searle, a consultant in emergency medicine, backed Bumba up, expressing outrage on the witness stand that anyone would be so insensitive as to ask about Upton's chromosomes.
‘I could only imagine how upsetting and invasive a question that would be for Beth, and also not relevant to a colleague to ask another colleague. Beth identifies as female, and it does not matter what her chromosomes are to her.’
In Bumba and Searle's world, a belief that gender identity trumps biological sex is proof you're intellectually and morally superior to women like Sandie Peggie, so I'd imagine it's come as a shock to discover, in a blaze of public and press scrutiny, just how idiotic and cruel they appear to people outside their dinner party circle.
When Upton, a 6' tall, 28-year-old ex-rugby playing male, claimed that a petite 50-year-old female nurse was making him feel 'unsafe', his word appears to have been taken as gospel. Searle, Bumba and management fell over themselves to coddle the middle-class doctor who shared their voguish post-modern views on gender. What did Sandie matter? She's just one of those ghastly uninformed bigots who still thinks sex is real and important - so embarrassingly gauche and simplistic! Whisper it - she probably drinks red wine with chicken, too.
According to @tribunaltweets, an emotional Searle blurted out on the stand 'I am kind.' This is not something genuinely kind people need to say. Genuinely kind people don't find themselves compelled to explain in court why they helped whip up a witch-hunt against a woman whose only crime was wanting to change her clothes without a man watching.
Well, the nurse who was supposed to shuffle off in disgrace wasn't having it. Sandie Peggie refused to be sacrificed on the altar of elitist ideologues who believe themselves to be higher and better than she is. She fought back, for herself and for every other woman who's currently being silenced, persecuted and punished by a smug management class that preens itself on its virtue while imposing rampantly misogynistic policies on its workforce.
Sandie Peggie is a heroine. The woman NHS Fife thought they could treat abominably without any consequences to themselves has succeeded in shining the brightest spotlight yet upon the brain rot and compassion deficit suffered by supposedly intelligent people when they embrace gender identity ideology. Women everywhere owe her a debt of thanks. Whatever the outcome of this tribunal, Sandie Peggie has already won.
⛔️Perquè ens oposem a les mal anomenades "lleis trans"?
⚠️Perquè diem que són nefastes, antifeministes, antidemocràtiques i que desprotegeixen la infància?
🗓️Perquè heu de venir el 21 de Juny a exigir la seva derogació i que es declarin inconstitucionals?

Compartimos nuestro Comunicado exigiendo al Tribunal Constitucional @TConstitucionE que declare inconstitucional la #LeyTrans y les recordamos las razones fundamentadas aportadas por el movimiento feminista desde que se gestó el anteproyecto de ley:
#RespetenALasMujeres
"Cuando alguien defiende la regulación de la prostitución no está defendiendo el derecho de la mujer. Está defendiendo el derecho de los puteros".

📢ATENCIÓN! Resumen de #59Segundos@rtve con mis comentarios sobre cómo se travistió de debate sobre el deporte femenino una homilía sexoplanista para justificar que los hombres puedan competir con ventaja en las categorías femeninas.
Gracias @AranguezTasia por defender los derechos de las mujeres con tanta solvencia a pesar de los insultos y el hostigamiento al que te sometieron.

Que sí Josemanuel, que ya ha quedado claro que eres cinéfilo y culto porque estás devastado por la muerte de un señor de 80 años que dirigía pelis.
A ver cuando asesinen a la próxima mujer expresas al menos una décima parte del dolor que dices sentir ahora.
On Sat 1st Feb at 4pm we will be holding a silent, candlelit vigil in Leicester Square, London in solidarity with Afghan women and girls.
They are not forgotten and the world cannot turn away from them in their hour of need.
