'This isn't working' podcast exclusive report.

Some readers may recall Katie Neeves' training webcast session that was leaked a few years ago. This is the story of the subsequent fallout.

It seems Katie Neeves' friendship with the head of CIPD may have been the cause for a serious institutional capture, leading to persecution and hounding of women who objected to being exposed to Neeves' training session, which was at best highly inappropriate for a professional setting, at worst, deliberately involving unwilling women in a fetish.

Neeves did a webcast for CIPD professionals in 2022, in which he talked about stealing and wearing his sister's underwear. Many women objected.

The webcast was recorded and excerpts broadcast - there were threads on here at the time.

The CIPD then referred this to the police, and women were reprimanded and threatened.

The article goes on to question whether the CIPD is fulfilling its role properly and what needs to change.

Absolutely shocking story. Anyone involved in HR should read this.

Was on a CIPD webinar (am a member) yesterday discussing the implications of the SC ruling for employers.

The legal advisor said that trans women in women's spaces "never really pose an issue." I challenged it and got called a bigot for my troubles and that "the EHRC will correct the ridiculous judgement that is a clear violation of the Human Rights Act Art 6 freedoms..."

I did try 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks for sharing, this is turning out to be a really great podcast to subscribe to. I just want to share a different clip of Katie Neeves in action -

A training consultancy named "Cool2Btrans". Isn't there a bit of a clue in the name that this might not be a professional organisation? I suppose Katie was sad to learn that Legz Akimbo was already registered.

Everyone knew what was going on with men like this until two minutes ago and now it's as if the elephant in the room has grown so big no one can see it at all.

Utterly shocking but utterly predictable at the same time.
