Female Engineer 'Forced to Use Secret Toilets' After Encounter with Trans Colleague
Ms Kelly filed a harassment and discrimination complaint after transgender colleagues used female toilets, prompting changes to signage and highlighting workplace privacy concerns.
- On Wednesday, Maria Kelly began using `secret` toilets after encountering a trans-identifying colleague in the women's bathroom and lodged harassment and discrimination complaints against Leonardo UK.
- Last year Maria Kelly was told the company message was that anyone who self-identified as a woman could use the ladies' toilets, and she suspected persons A, B and C were transgender.
- Kelly told the tribunal, becoming emotional, that bathroom privacy is tied to her health needs and said, `I am not going to sacrifice my privacy, my dignity sharing the toilet with a man.`
- Kelly began formal grievance proceedings that led to tribunal hearings after she was asked to discuss toilet issues in a room with three men, the case before Employment Judge Sutherland centres on Leonardo UK's mixed-sex toilets.
- Hidden toilets she used are tucked near a cleaning cupboard, offering a private space away from others, and their female sign was later replaced with a WC badge.
