In 2018, Maya Forstater was subject to an internal investigation at her place of employment, the Center for Global Development, after complaints about her tweets. She lost her job as a result, accused of "transphobia."

Maya took the case to the Employment Tribunal, which resulted first in a judgment saying her "belief" that sex is real was "not worthy of respect in a democratic society."

Maya recently co-founded Sex Matters, a UK-based not-for-profit that works to promote clarity about sex in public policy, law, and culture, as well the “Respect My Sex if You Want My X” campaign.

In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Maya about the tribunal, the campaigns she is working on in the UK, and her lunch with JK Rowling.
