er women. The tribunal found that the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre constructively dismissed and harassed an employee, Roz Adams, after she realised that senior managers believed there is no such thing as biological sex, and expressed her concerns about the effect of that belief on traumatised women.
Of course this happened in Scotland, where gender ideology is so embedded that the CEO of the centre is a trans-identified man. Mridul Wadhwa wasted no time in demonstrating his unsuitability for the job, suggesting in a notorious interview in 2021 that “bigoted” rape survivors should be re-educated about trans rights. But the full extent of his influence on the culture of the centre is exposed in the tribunal’s excoriating judgment.
It found that Wadhwa and other members of the senior management team were on a “heresy hunt” when they began a disciplinary process against Adams. It concluded that Wadhwa’s intention was to “cleanse the organisation” of anyone who refused to accept views which were “at the very extreme end of gender identity theory”….
The centre even refused to refer rape survivors who wanted a female counsellor to a women-only service set up by J.K. Rowling. This is about as far from a victim-centred approach as it is possible to imagine, turning what should have been a service for distressed women into an exercise to validate the fantasies of entitled men like Wadhwa.
No woman, not even one who has been terrorised and beaten by a violent sex offender, is safe from the demands of these misogynists. They have got away with it because too many people have swallowed the big lie that men who “identify” as women are victims who need to be cosseted. Anyone who goes on believing it, after it’s been exposed so many times, is enabling damage to women.
This would be bad enough anywhere, but that this trans takeover should happen at a rape crisis centre for god's sake - it defies belief.
Last word:
Not a word of contrition or accountability. No mention of the woman put through three years of severe stress and unwarranted investigation. No mention of rape survivors who self-excluded from their service. For whom are they 'saddened' – the persecutors? https://t.co/TjU5CPJy5U
