Tweet is from an FBU rep.

This from an organisation that has genuinely worked really hard recently to recruit more female firefighters and has its first ever female Commissioner.

every fire station got female toilets, female showers and female-only sleeping accommodation.

Lucy Masoud's talk about her experience as a female firefighter in London Fire Brigade.

LFB is 98% male, and she talks about the how female firefighters had to fight to get their Privacy for All campaign through. They won - and every fire station got female toilets, female showers and female-only sleeping accommodation.

They have a new Equality Manager who goes into schools to teach children about gender identity.

I thought that was a breach of HSE and Equality legislation? Did they wait until Lucy Massoud had left to pull this stunt?
