If trans people want workplace protections for their political beliefs, then those protections must also extend to those who disagree. It's that simple. Maya was treated in EXACTLY the same fashion as a person fired merely for being trans. I do not tolerate EITHER.

Lol nobody who gets fired for being trans was fired for their "political beliefs", it's not the result of being interviewed about your philosophical position re: the nature of gender identity

It's what they believe about gender. That is what I mean by political. Race, gender, religion, politics-- as long as it is not affecting your job and you are not harassing people, it is no one else's business.

No, it isn't, Aimee Stephens wasn't fired over any of her "beliefs", which her boss never asked her about, she was fired for using she/her pronouns and showing up to work in a dress

Well she was obviously creating a hostile workplace then. She believed she could express herself, and deserves to be labeled an enemy of the state by a British labor board for it.

The tribunal was going to find against Forstater in any case, since she had no right to a contracting job. Forstater's cult beliefs were never the problem. The judge discusses them here only because Forstater kept talking about them...at the tribunal!

The tribunal had the right to decide that Maya's beliefs were protected speech. Instead, they went full Mao.

That's not what the concept of "protected speech" means, and it has never, ever, ever been the law that you cannot get fired from a private sector job by an employer who doesn't like the things you say

The board had the right to decide if her opinions were a protected "philosophy", a la religion or politics. Instead, they dragged her like she was in a struggle session.

Yeah because literally anything can be a "political position" "Black people are genetically inferior and should be placed in a subordinate position in society" is a political position, one that millions of people hold
