In early 2022 Sibyl was working for Cornerstones Literary Consultancy as one of their ‘Core Editors’. She had been working with them without issue for about a year. Then, in May, odd things started to happen. Management told her without warning that the client she was working for no longer required her services. About a week later she noticed she had been removed from the Editors’ page on the Cornerstones website. When Sibyl enquired about this, she was told that it was ‘unlikely’ that more projects would be fed her way.
Confused and distressed, Sibyl filed a Subject Access Request which revealed that a member of staff at Cornerstones took objection to the gender critical views she had expressed in her Twitter account (i.e. her belief that sex is immutable and determined from conception). Cornerstones proceeded to immediately halt any work she was doing for them by lying to both her and their client, and then effectively terminated Sibyl.
Have a listen to find out what happened next.
