Stonewall ‘threatened’ to silence gender critical barrister by having her sacked, says judge
by Ewan Somerville and Gabriella Swerling, Telegraph:
Stonewall “threatened” to silence a gender-critical barrister they deemed “transphobic” by having her sacked, court documents have revealed.
Allison Bailey, a lesbian criminal barrister who helped to set up the LGB Alliance, is currently suing the embattled charity, claiming it collaborated with her chambers to put her under investigation.
Ms Bailey, who set up a crowdfunder to cover her legal bills, lodged a claim at the Employment Tribunal against Stonewall and Garden Court Chambers last year alleging that she was silenced “because both my chambers and Stonewall treat people such as me, who hold gender critical beliefs, as being bigoted and unworthy of respect”.
The specific details regarding the allegations of attempts to silence Ms Bailey have not previously been reported. However, The Telegraph has seen court documents and emails which reveal the extent of the Stonewall’s “threat” against the allegedly “transphobic” barrister for the first time.
