“Standing alongside our trans comrades”

hat self-ID policies could put women at risk.

“It saddens me that Unison, which has 75 per cent female membership, has as its first motion at its women’s conference one that seeks to undermine Equality Act protections for women,” the worker, who did not want to be named, said.

“Letting men who choose to identify as women have unfettered access to single sex spaces, as in the Peggie case, is a clear example of trans rights being in tension with women’s rights.

“The other issue here is attempts within Unison to shut down discussions of this issue. Women who are concerned that our rights are under threat are being silenced, forced to whisper in the shadows. It is Orwellian.”

The unions – last bastion of the old-school macho male left. Women, know your place.
