Kristie Higgs, a Christian teaching assistant, has won a significant legal battle after being dismissed from her role at Farmor’s School in Fairford, Gloucestershire, in 2019. Higgs was sacked for gross misconduct after sharing Facebook posts criticising the inclusion of LGBT and transgender-related content in primary school education. Her posts, shared privately, expressed concerns about the rise of transgender ideology in children’s books and the introduction of such materials in schools, including one titled My Princess Boy. She argued that these teachings promoted 'confusing and harmful gender identity' to young children.

Initially, in 2020, an employment tribunal ruled that Higgs’ religion was a “protected characteristic” under the Equality Act but concluded that her dismissal was lawful. However, the Employment Appeal Tribunal overturned this decision in June 2023, stating that the case required reconsideration by a new tribunal. Higgs’ legal team argued that this would deny her justice once again.
