@rejserin Because they refused to let them change it until they had surgery which as I said is not an issue in our country.

You've taken this short clip completely out of context.

In the whole video, it is clear they are talking about situations where the service provider refuses service just because they have GC beliefs or have expressed them in a way that is unobjectionable.

They also give examples where it may become objectionable.

@AudreySuffolk @hightreebud This is a problem with law firms that advertise themselves as specialists in employment law; very few of them actually specialise in Equality law, and rather than admit it, they pretend otherwise.

@Kachidey4you For those asking, it's from a film called Do You Know Me?

@MrTCHarris Except for many left-wing MPs, most trans activists and a certain Scottish judge.

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

@LsMc459856 @AudreySuffolk Yes, the SC did give a definitive answer, but that doesn't mean every case will get the right result the first time around.

If the lower courts misinterpret it, then it'll require an appeal court to correct it.

That's all she means.

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

It is true to say that no PC trumps another in all circumstances, but that's why we have exemptions to make clear the circumstances in which one PC does succeed another.

It seems already clear from the two cases we've had come out this week from Scotland that the Scottish ETs are continuing to get the law wrong.

We've yet to see any ET judgments from the rest of the UK, but if that trend continues and the ETAs and COA don't sort it out, I think we'll likely have to ask the SC for another judgment.

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

This is crazy and nonsensical.

When toilets or changing rooms are being cleaned or worked on by a tradesperson, they are closed with a sign outside and sometimes with a barrier preventing entry.

How on earth the judge could compare that to when they are open and actually in use is beyond me.

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

@SVPhillimore @AudreySuffolk This seems clear to me.

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

Point her in the direction of the Court of Appeal judgment in Higgs v Farmor’s School.

“The dismissal of an employee merely because they have expressed a religious or other protected belief to which the employer, or a third party with whom it wishes to protect its reputation, objects will constitute unlawful direct discrimination within the meaning of the Equality Act.”

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

@DPJHodges Nah, if they do say anything at all, it'll be how disappointed they are that their pleas were ignored.

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

@DPJHodges And organising such a protest is also a criminal offence, so why aren't the organisers being arrested?

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

@SVPhillimore And get proper legal advice rather than asking Google and trade unions.

@AVintenAuthor On Reddit, the first few comments are of police officers wanting the BBC undercover reporter prosecuted.

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

@QcWynter Didn't the @BarristerSecret mention it back in 2018?

[🇮🇱🇬🇧Michael Lee Taylor🇬🇧🇮🇱 @ThatcheriteLee]

@QcWynter Their legal team also claimed the SC ruling only had a narrow meaning in relation to members on Scottish public sector boards and had nothing to do with toilets and other single sex spaces.
