This article is a breath of fresh air; see how correctly sexing those involved in the case makes it so easy to understand?

If only all journalists would do the same.
(Morning Start have published numerous GC articles)

"Sandie Peggie’s claim against NHS Fife is for sexual harassment, belief discrimination and victimisation. A nurse with 30 years’ service, she objected to sharing a female changing room at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy with a male doctor who identifies as a woman. Her employer’s policy meant her single-sex changing room was now mixed sex."

Please God let the unions wake up and support women. Hadn't realised RCN had refused to support Ms Peggie.

Yes. Outrageous.

I noticed they were particularly annoyed at a left wing publication noticing the class power dynamic.

Heaven forfend that anyone* should try to take their victimhood off the privileged.

*especially anyone you can't really tar with the label "right-wing".

Perhaps unkindly, but I did smile at the OUTRAGE about that article on trans Reddit!

Magdalen Berns' mother Deborah Lavin was general secretary of the Communist Party iirc? I suppose real communists tend to believe in biology and physics after all. I might subscribe to Morning Star - though I'm not a tankie at heart.

So many TRAs espouse ‘luxury communism’ (remember the photo of Jess Bailey and LOJ on the train ?) that it must be hard to read this excellent, full throated piece in this news source.

The communists and SDP are the only parties that have consistently defended women’s rights throughout these years of transgenderist madness.

The trades unions have been a complete disgrace.

Thank you. This is an excellent article. I'm going to share it on other threads, hope that's OK.

Thank you for this article. Clear and a damning exposé of the institutional misogyny in the trade union movement.
