Maya Forstater, who lost out on a job for saying people cannot change their biological sex, has won three claims in a fresh employment tribunal following an appeal, winning praise from the Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

This follows a ruling at an Employment Tribunal in June 2021 when Forstater successfully established a binding legal precedent that “gender-critical beliefs were in principle protected by the Equality Act.”
