Just what I read in the Guardian.  And it was before breakfast, so if I missed something, I was probably just thinking about my eggs.

The deal is....

The woman made anti-trans comments online (in person too maybe ?) and her contract was not renewed.  She sent it for judicial review and the decision was initially affirmed, and now was turned over with the comment that her speech is protected unless it's akin to "Naziism and totalitarianism".

So "free speech" as such was never in question, it was the consequences of her stating her opinion.

What it means now is that apparently you can state "Women should speak only when spoken to" in the workplace and not get fired, but if you say "I think that China's government has been effective against Climate Change" you can be fired.

....

I should have been a lawyer.  Really really should have.
