Woman who lost job after tweeting view on biological sex awarded £100,000

Award follows tribunal ruling that Maya Forstater was unfairly discriminated against because of her gender-critical beliefs

A researcher who lost her job at a thinktank after tweeting that transgender women could not change their biological sex has been awarded more than 100,000 in compensation by an employment tribunal.

It comes after an earlier tribunal ruled that Maya Forstater, 49, was unfairly discriminated against because of her gender-critical beliefs when she did not have her contract or fellowship renewed by the Centre for Global Development (CGD), where she was a visiting fellow.
