A former Lib Dem candidate who was barred from standing as an MP after she wore a gender-critical shirt is suing for £90,000 pounds in compensation.
Natalie Bird has complained about being unfairly targeted for her beliefs after she donned a top with the slogan “Woman: Adult Human Female” to a party meeting.
Bird, who is a domestic abuse survivor, has said she is passionate about safe spaces for vulnerable women.
She was called an “illiberal TERF,” suspended from the Lib Dems and banned from standing as an MP for a decade.
Earlier this year, Bird sued for discrimination, and representatives of the Lib Dem membership “conceded the claim.”
The case is now in court again to determine how much she should be compensated, with Bird asking Judge Karen Walden-Smith to award her £90,000 for “injury to feelings” for breach of her membership contract and rights under the Equality Act.
