Only 700
A government lawyer who faced legal action after expressing gender-critical views at work including commenting that only women menstruate has had the case against her dropped.
Elspeth Duemmer-Wrigley works for an arm’s-length body affiliated to the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and was due to appear at a tribunal this week accused of harassment.
The claimant has now officially withdrawn all accusations against Duemmer-Wrigley, who is a chairwoman of a civil service network that represents staff with gender-critical views.
That is, a civil service network that represents staff who are aware that people can’t change sex. Weird that it needs a network; weird that there are apparently staff who think people can change sex.
The network has more than 700 civil servant members across 50 government departments who support the belief that biological sex is binary and immutable.
It’s not a belief though, it’s just a dull obvious fact.
“The network has more than 700 civil servant members across 50 government departments who support the belief that biological sex is binary and immutable.”
In Mediaeval Europe, the facts: dull, obvious and everyday common-or-garden, were whatever the Catholic priesthood told their ‘flocks’ to believe, with penalties like being burned at the stake for heresy. Until the Reformation, the overwhelming majority went along with this arrangement.
Then the shit hit the fan.
