In the UK people are fired because of their beliefs

A JK Rowling supporter has launched a legal appeal after claiming she was sacked for endorsing the Harry Potter author’s views on transgender issues.

Gillian Philip, 59, claimed the book packaging business Working Partners and the publisher HarperCollins terminated her contract because of her beliefs about biological sex.

Philip supported JK Rowling by tweeting “#ISTANDWITHROWLING” in 2020.

Philip was one of several authors at the time writing under the name Erin Hunter on the popular animal fantasy series that includes Warrior Cats, Survivors and Bravelands.

The Glaswegian-author argued she was removed from the Erin Hunter team after supporting Rowling. Philip claimed she was inundated with abuse and death threats.

James Noble, the managing editor of Working Partners, responded to the complaints at the time by writing:

The worlds created by Erin Hunter are meant to be inclusive for all readers and we want to let you know that Gillian Philip will no longer be writing any Erin Hunter novels.
