When I read J.K. Rowling's July 6 tweet calling me a warrior, I started to cry.
Losing the first hearing was one of my darkest moments. Not only had I lost in my own case, the judgment declared open season for employers to discriminate against others who said biological sex matters. I had made things worse.
Over the past three years so many lies have been told about me; that I harassed a co-worker or refused to comply with directions from my employer. Most of all I was painted as a bigot. It was argued in court that my belief was"absolutist" and on par with Nazism. That hurt more than anything. In fact I want to protect everyone's human rights.
The past three years have been incredibly hard on myself and my family. I hope I will get compensation for my lost income. And, I have demonstrated to other employers that they must respect freedom of belief. They cannot treat people who stand up for sex-based rights as social outcasts. We cannot be silenced, sacked and excluded from public life.
After my win J.K. Rowling tweeted:"Every woman who's been harassed, silenced, bullied or lost employment because of her gender critical beliefs is freer and safer today, thanks to the warrior that isI don't think I will ever fully be able to express how much her support meant to me and to so many women. She stood by me not just in victory, but also at my lowest point.
