Courage Calls: Maya and Marion

<p>Maya Forstater, who was let go from her position at think tank Center for Global Development (CGD) in March of 2019 for tweets asserting the reality of biological sex, and who had originally lost a court case challenging her employer’s decision, has on June 10th <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57426579">won an appeal</a> filed with the employment tribunal.<br> <br> According to the introduction in the ruling,<br> <br> “The Claimant holds the belief that biological sex is real, important, immutable and not to be conflated with gender identity. She considers that statements such as ‘woman means adult human female’ or ‘trans women are male’ are statements of neutral fact and are not expressions of antipathy towards trans people or ‘transphobic’.”<br> <br> Those who set up a <a href="https://sex-matters.org/take-action/donate/core-supporter/">monthly donation</a> to Sex Matters during the month of June will have their contribution matched and doubled by a “generous donor”.</p>
