Allison Bailey has won her discrimination case against Linnaeus Veterinary
Limited, trading as Palmerston Veterinary Group, for unlawful discrimination
based on her gender critical beliefs.
In the first case of its kind, Miss Bailey, a gender critical feminist, barrister, and lesbian, has demonstrated that the Courts can and will take action where gender critical women are denied goods and services on account of their beliefs.
Miss Bailey was expelled without warning from her vet’s practice in 2023. She alleged that her expulsion was due to her gender critical beliefs: she believes sex is binary, biological, immutable, and important — views that would have been entirely uncontroversial at any other time in history. She considers the belief that gender identity can override biological sex to be unevidenced, pseudoscientific, quasi-religious, and dangerous. She believes that gender identity ideology gained ground so quickly in the past decade because it was erroneously linked to LGB rights by self-interested lobby groups, with disastrous consequences for women and girls, children, the vulnerable, and the same-sex attracted, all lawful beliefs protected under equality legislation.
In its judgment, the Court has now agreed with Miss Bailey and found that her expulsion was unlawful and discriminatory.

Great result.
Allison relied on the line of gender critical cases from Forstater onwards but, as she says, this appears to be the first provision of services case.
