‘Gender critical’ barrister Allison Bailey lost her lawsuit against Stonewall. The judgment from the London Central Employment Tribunal, published last week, dismissed all her claims against the LGBTQ+ rights charity.
What the tribunal did uphold were some claims of discrimination against her legal chambers, Garden Court. It also found that her so-called ‘gender critical’ views were protected under the Equality Act 2010, and she was awarded £22,000 in compensation for injury to her feelings.
Although Bailey’s case against Stonewall was “dismissed”, the ‘gender critical’ community had been so determined to win this case against the charity that it has now managed to convince itself – and most of the mainstream British press – that it did.
