It isn’t factories, call centres, shops or cafes where employers have put themselves the wrong side of a tribunal judgment in these cases, but a think tank, a set of barristers’ chambers, a quango, a university, a local authority, a professional regulator and a rape crisis centre

Eagerly awaiting a certain barrister to remind us all that the finding of harassment against ERCC is all obiter and can be joyously ignored…

The reference to Kafka is but one of several absolutely stinging rebukes in the judgment, which contains criticisms rarely expressed so starkly by the judiciary. A few of the more remarkable comments below:

Response to losing the case which saw their actions branded “Kafkaesque” by the tribunal 👇🏻

Statement from Rape Crisis Scotland which says it has already commissioned an independent review into ERCC’s practices and procedures.

'The Tribunal concluded that Mridul Wadha had an agenda to “cleanse the organisation” of those who did not adhere to an institutional view which was “at the very extreme end of gender identity theory”.'

Roz Adams’ victory is a triumph for tolerance, writes Michael Foran. But it also underlines the significance of biological sex thecritic.co.uk/why-roz-adams-…

Small takeaway: the phrase *heresy hunt*
Big takeaway: the important point that Michael Foran makes about the status of sex realism in these contexts.

Absolutely scathing judgment in Adams v ERCC. Harassment on multiple fronts; Kafkaesque behaviour; resulting in unlawful constructive dismissal.

“This tribunal clearly did take a side. It followed the law and came down on the side of the “careful, credible and reliable witness” who was just trying to do her job by putting the rights of rape victims at the heart of her work. An extreme worldview that includes the belief

“An extreme worldview that includes the belief that people like Roz Adams should be hounded out of employment in the name of inclusivity is not compatible with the tolerance required of our law.”

‘This tribunal […] came down on the side of the “careful, credible and reliable witness” who was just trying to do her job by putting the rights of rape victims at the heart of her work’

An employment tribunal has defended tolerance and the place of sex realism in society, reports Michael Foran thecritic.co.uk/why-roz-adams-…

'The version of gender identity theory embraced by ERCC (described by the Tribunal as “dogmatic”, “extreme”, and “hardline”) is one that is not compatible with the requirements of tolerance.'

A woman was subject to ‘a heresy hunt’ that was ‘reminiscent of the work of Franz Kafka’ for believing that sex is important for rape victims seeking support at a rape crisis centre. My latest for The Critic explains the case and the judgment:

This is a huge vindication for Roz Adams, damning of the ERCC as having discriminated against her in the service of (in Tribunal's words) 'the very extreme end of gender identity theory” and raises massive questions for Scottish Government as the largest source of funding for the ERCC.
