Maya Forstater
Maya Forstater is a British tax expert and women's rights advocate known for her legal battle over gender identity and sex-based rights. She gained significant attention when she was dismissed from her job for stating that sex is immutable, a stance she defended in court, arguing that her beliefs on biological sex should be protected under free speech. Her case became emblematic of the ongoing debate surrounding gender identity and the rights of women, especially in relation to single-sex spaces.
