Maya Forstater

Maya Forstater (born 3 July 1973) is a British business and international development researcher who is the claimant in Maya Forstater v Centre for Global Development. The case established that gender critical views are protected as a belief under the Equality Act 2010, while stating that the judgment does not permit misgendering transgender people with impunity. The appeal tribunal did not examine the substantive merits of Forstater's dismissal, and a full merits hearing on the claim that she lost her employment as a result of these beliefs was heard in March 2022. The decision of the second tribunal, delivered in July 2022, was that she had been discriminated against because of her gender-critical beliefs. rdf:langString
