Q&A with Naomi Cunningham this evening
Hi everyone,
This is just a quick note to let you all know that Naomi Cunningham and I have decided to go live directly on Substack this evening at 7pm for our Q&A session. I think you will need the Substack app to watch us live but don’t worry if you’d rather not, the full recording will be available to paid subscribers shortly after.
Keep sending in questions and we will try to get to as many as we can. Nothing about Peggie v NHS Fife as that’s an ongoing case.
Thank you again for all your support - I wouldn’t be able to do this without you.
Hi, I am currently taking the Green Party to court. I know that going to court is always a gamble, though I am confident that I will win in the end, but the huge amount of money it is costing keeps me awake at night, and it may be that I will have to sell my house to pay for the case. I know that even if I do win, it is very likely that I will not get all the money back even if I am awarded a proportion of the costs.
I know for sure that I am not the only person facing this kind of dilemma, and lots of other ordinary people are in the same boat, so how can we make it easier for ordinary people to plough through the legalise, because if I could have I would have represented myself, but it is such a huge risk.
What will it take for ordinary people to be able to access the law, and will the UK Supreme court ruling - if it clarifies that sex means biological sex - make it easier for people to represent themselves or at least make it possible to use a solicitor who has not had to spend months/years immersed in this topic?
Thanks
I am a nurse and currently challenging my NHS employer. Please could you ask about the lawfulness of the NHSE guidance “Delivering same-sex accommodation” (specifically annex B). This is used widely in NHS Trusts to write policies for supporting trans patients. One outcome is that males are placed with females in female bays. Are there any upcoming legal cases that may prove Annex B unlawful and result in its removal? Thank you.
