We are crowd funding so that we can bring this legal challenge. Public bodies must not ignore the Supreme Court's judgment. You can support the case here. 💪 sex-matters.org/take-action/cr…

Sandie Peggie’s legal team has accused a group of senior doctors of defying a legal order in a bid to conceal alleged wrongdoing 👇

Good to see more MPs and MSPs supporting Sandie Peggie. 😊 @melanie_ward @clairebakermsp Its time the government takes leadership on single-sex services and ensuring the Supreme Court's judgment is put into practice, so no more women have to go through this.
This morning @clairebakermsp & I met with Sandie Peggie, who I have spoken in support of in Parliament. Sandie has 30 years’ service as a nurse at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy & should never have had to take legal action to uphold her right to change in a single sex space.

I spoke to Times Radio this morning about the first few days of the resumed hearing in Peggie v NHS Fife and Dr Beth Upton:
Unprecedented intervention by the Information Commissioner and shows serious concern about NHS Fife. The statement from NHS Fife victimises counsel, witness and Sandie Peggie. It must be withdrawn and an apology given. The SNP need to get a grip - this is their health board.

As a feminist academic & member of the @SexMattersOrg advisory group can I advise @nhsfife that if it did not want this case to blow up across mainstream & social media it should have upheld the law on the provision of single sex female changing rooms.

She had been completely abandoned by the organisation and her union. While I was restricted in what support I could give with an employment case, signposting to @SexMattersOrg was absolutely 💯 essential.
I believe this is the first time it has been made public that the hearing was located at the last minute from Edinburgh to Dundee because of threats made against Sandie Peggie's team.
Dundee [changed] because of threats made against the Claimant’s legal team. At that time the Claimant did not state these affairs nor attribute them because quite obviously doing so would have been entirely improper during proceedings. Paragraphs 3 and 4 of this press statement
This week @MForstater was in Dundee for the 2nd leg of Sandie's hearing. Every week, our memo has an update from one of the team, and this week it was Maya. Any remaining q's anyone has about Sex Matters' link with the case will likely be answered here. x.com/SexMattersOrg/…
Update from Maya! The tribunal of Sandie Peggie v NHS Fife resumed this week, and I am in Dundee to watch some of the hearing, with Sandie and her family, and with supporters from Scotland and beyond.
