Anne explained: “The duty manager came and spoke to a few of us and said that there were trans staff coming on duty at the next shift change who could find our t-shirts upsetting and could be seen as hateful."

I know legal proceedings are stressful even when you’re right but I hope all these misogynists will get sued to bankruptcy one day. Disgusting discrimination against you and other good women.

As I was one of the men there who was refused service, I am very much of the opinion we were all discriminated against on the basis of our beliefs. (obviously, the women were discriminated against on sex and sexuality, too). Belief is the the thing we all had in common.

Beliefs makes it sound like you are the one embracing metaphysical woo. Discrimination was based on your refusal to believe that biological facts can be subverted to accommodate a individual's fantasy.

You are correct. Our 'beliefs' are actually facts.

Maybe we should should start saying based on facts a refusal to accept... Beliefs sounds subjective.

Yes! I don’t feel comfortable equating verifiable facts with bonkers beliefs. It could even backfire.

I think the issue is that 'beliefs' are a protected characteristic. I don't think the legislature or judiciary ever contemplated that people might be discriminated on the basis of facts. Hitherto, our law has always been fact-based. The GRA 2004 changed that.

Yes belief is a protected characteristic. In Grainger vs Nicholson [2010] the Employment Appeal Tribunal set out the criteria. It does not preclude beliefs based on fact (this case was belief in man made climate change). Belief in Scottish nationalism has also passed the test.pic.twitter.com/QfjwzguvZ5

But u can also be discriminated against by association. It sounds like the lesbians were discriminated against based on sexual orientation - as stated on their t-shirts (and for saying this relates to sex not gender ID) & the others in the group for being in the same party
