A U.K. employment tribunal ruled July 6 that Maya Forstater, a British tax expert, was a victim of direct discrimination when the think tank Centre for Global Development (CGD) refused to renew her contract following a series of tweets in which she questioned the government’s plans to allow people to self-identify as another gender.
The tribunal also decided that Forstater suffered victimization when her profile was removed from CGD’s website.
In 2019, an employment tribunal ruled that Forstater’s views on gender were not “worthy of respect in a democratic society” and were “incompatible with human dignity and [the] fundamental rights of others.”
