Maya Forstater (born 3 July[1] 1973) is a British gender-critical activist[2] who was the claimant in Forstater v Centre for Global Development Europe.[3][4][5][6] The case established that gender critical views are protected as a belief under the Equality Act 2010,[7][8] while stating that the judgment does not permit misgendering transgender people with impunity.[9] At a subsequent full merits hearing, the Employment Tribunal upheld Forstater's case, concluding that she had suffered direct discrimination on the basis of her gender critical beliefs.[10] In a judgement for remedies handed down in June 2023, Forstater was awarded compensation of £91,500 for loss of earnings, injury to feelings and aggravated damages, with an additional £14,900 added as interest.[11][12]
