Nicola Murray

It took the jury just two hours to find Nicola Murray guilty of three charges of assault, two sexual assaults, two of indecent communication, one indecent assault and two offences of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner, all committed against minors between December 2002 and August 2022.

Murray was a lead voice last week when the UK Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of women and men should be based sex designated at birth and not gender under the Equality Act of 2010, thus denying transgender people protections under law.

Murray has been listed as a child predator and will be sentenced in May, Edinburgh Live reports.

"TERF who campaigned against trans-inclusive women’s shelters turns out to be a nonce," a redditor noted.

Murray, from Stanley, Perthshire, set up Brodie’s Trust seven years ago claiming she suffered two miscarriages after being abused by a former partner.It operated in Perth, Stirling and Dundee but widened services after trans critical group Let Women Speak donated £2,500 and supporters handed over more than £1,000 during an internet cash drive in 2021, according to The Scottish Sun.

Organisers claimed they funded the “small unregistered organisation “from our own incomes” and “help from family and friends”.Brodie’s Trust was not listed with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or divulge its accounts or income.The group's Facebook page was last night taken down, as she claimed on social media she had been "stitched up," parlance for being framed.

Carrie observed that Murray was Hiding in plain sight:.

As of yesterday, Observer columnist and leader writer Sonia Sodha, LGB Alliance co-founder Malcolm Clarke, Rosie Duffield MP, For Women Scotland and many other very high-profile “Gender Critical” figures were still following Nicola Murray on X/Twitter.

Murray is one of Scotland’s best-known anti-trans activists; she was one of the key figures in the witch-hunt against Mridul Wadhwa, the trans woman driven out of her job at a rape crisis centre in Edinburgh.

New EEOC Policy Pre-Designates All Transgender Cases as "Meritless"

The federal agency tasked with protecting workers’ civil rights is classifying all new gender identity-related discrimination cases as its lowest priority, essentially putting them on indefinite hold, according to two agency employees who spoke with the AP.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission held a meeting on Wednesday clarifying how it would treat new worker complaints of gender-identity discrimination in view of President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order declaring that the government would recognize only two “immutable” sexes — male and female, the AP reports.

Staff who handle incoming charges, or intakes, were directed to code them as “C,” the lowest categorization in the EEOC’s system, which is usually reserved for meritless charges.

“Since Day One, President Trump has been undermining civil rights enforcement for American workers, from rescinding a 60-year-old civil rights era Executive Order that prohibited discrimination in federal contracting to unlawfully firing two commissioners on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,” said Rep. Mark Takano (CA-39), Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus. “As part of Trump’s campaign to weaponize of the federal government against minorities, including transgender people, the White House has directed federal agencies to go after private employers who work to address historic discrimination in their fields. Now, agencies like the EEOC are following Trump’s lead and have stopped processing all sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination complaints.

The EEOC’s new policy regarding gender-identity-related discrimination contradicts the Supreme Court’s 2020 ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, a landmark case that established that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits workplace discrimination based on gender identity.
