There is a crowdfunder for Sandie Peggie, to provide her with the ability to take herself and her family on vacation when all this is over. (She says she's donating it to charity, but people are speaking with her daughter to make sure she uses at least some of it for herself.)
Peggie's lawyer, Naomi Cunningham, has skewered the living daylight out of Theodore Upton repeatedly:
Sandie Peggie opted out of your immersive role play. That's why you're angry. That one voice saying, "You're a man," breaks the spell.
Cunningham's summing up at the end of her questioning of Theodore is a thing of beauty:
That bullying of her by you was all about you being male and her being female--she was protesting against your presence, the invasion of her privacy. You were determined to punish her for standing up to you. You are taking steps to remove her from the workplace. You are disappointed she is still working. This is about punishing Sandie Peggie.
You told a pack of lies. Lies which could not only have lost her her job, but which could have had her struck off. It's all about controlling your female colleagues. You have done your best to end Sandie Peggie's 30-year unblemished career, to punish her for standing up to you.
There is a bully in this story. But it's not the 50-year-old nurse wanting a women's changing room to deal with a menstrual flood.
Even the judge demanded an answer to the fundamental question:
What is the sex of the respondent [Theodore Upton]?
Theodore's lawyer answered:
We need a skilled expert to deal with the question of sex.
People watching the tribunal report that Theodore looks positively euphoric over being allowed to lie shamelessly about Sandie Peggie, in court in front of a judge, and not be stopped by anyone.
Lucy Hunter-Blackburn reports that Sandie's supervisor, Esther Davis, looks "petrified," as in, "turned to stone."

A “skilled expert.” How about Austin Powers? “That’s a man, baby!”
Works for me.
Cunningham is outstanding. How lucky we are to have such a brilliant advocate in our midst.

BRAVO! and thank you, Sandie.
Perfect choice. I have restacked.
