It is like watching a ball of string unravel in slow motion picking up speed down a hill!

“Minutes stated that the survey would “get information about gender critical equality, diversity and inclusion consultants … employed in HR departments of various institutions”.

It suggested that a question could be included in the survey asking: “Are you aware of your institution employing EDI [equality, diversity and inclusion] consultants in the sector and if so which ones.”

The minutes added: “The last question is to get information about how many HR and senior HR staff/consultants are gender critical and then to inform branches, so that they are aware of any problems which may arise in a particular branch.

“Some of the EDI consultants are transphobes and prominent gender critical activists.””

Some of the EDI consultants are misogynistic homophobes who deliberately misadvise on and misrepresent the law, but that’s absolutely fine, of course….

Terrifying and yet I'm not surprised. Glad, once again, that I left UCU this year.

Fucking hell. I mean, I'm not exactly surprised, but I am shocked if that makes sense.

This is so entrenched!

“A group of hard-left academics has been accused of stifling free speech on university campuses by plotting a witch-hunt against colleagues on gender identity.

University and College Union (UCU) members pledged to compile a list of university backroom staff suspected of holding gender-critical beliefs, the minutes from a meeting leaked to The Times reveal.

The plan was to use this information to “inform” UCU university branches of their colleagues’ views, accusing them of being “transphobes” and “gender-critical activists”.

So they planned to “inform” on people expressing their legally protected views 🙄

What a disgrace.
