The incident occurred when Analha chaired a Zoom call of the authority's LGBTQ employee group last year. During the call, Analha dressed his dachshund in a dress to spark a "debate about gender." He claimed to the group that his dog was "gender-fluid."
Pitt immediately denied that Analha's dog was gender-fluid saying, "Your dog is male!" Another lesbian coworker agreed with Pitt and doubled down that the pooch is not, in fact, gender-fluid.
The pair reportedly proceeded to express gender-critical views, such as their criticism of trans-identified biological men competing in women's sports and using female-only spaces.
The comments resulted in Pitt receiving disciplinary action from managers.
However, the authority was forced to pay £63,000 in costs and compensation after it eventually acknowledged being liable for blatant discrimination based on her beliefs after Pitt filed a tribunal complaint.
