Courage of heroine who dared shine a light on toxic subject many are too scared to even discuss: Lesbian barrister wins historic battle over being victimised for standing up to 'trans extremist' group trying to erase biological sex
Allison Bailey, 52, challenged her own chambers in an employment tribunal
- She said she was discriminated against for believing biological sex is immutable
- The barrister is known for fighting prejudice and inequality, but she was instead branded a transphobe and discriminated against, losing lucrative work
In recent months, the London-based chambers has found itself in the deeply uncomfortable position of having its progressive credentials challenged in a landmark employment tribunal.
To make matters worse, the person doing the challenging, Allison Bailey, is not only one of its own barristers – but ticks many of the same boxes as its roster of clients.
The daughter of Windrush-generation Jamaican parents and a survivor of child sexual abuse, Bailey is a lesbian gay rights champion.
With that background, it might be assumed the insight she has into fighting prejudice and inequality would have been regarded as an invaluable asset by her colleagues.
Instead, the 52-year-old claims that because of her belief that biological sex is immutable and those who are born male cannot transition to become women, she has been branded a transphobe and discriminated against, losing out on lucrative work.
