I was thinking the same about the 'so many of our members' line, show us the proof handmaiden, I suspect the number is as paltry as the mere 7% she was voted in with.

Does this response have anything to do with the recent judgement that said putting a man in a position that was supposed to be for a woman was illegal.

Instead of complying with the law she wants to change the law so she can do things her way, power trip or what!

Andrea Egan needs to define her terms, pronto.
Then let's see how many of her female members support her once they understand that it's women's rights that she's proposing are smashed to smithereens.

I'd also like to know how many members have written to her to complain about Unison's position. I'd guarantee it's a few more than 600.

Most members of Unison are women and I bet the majority are not trans. It needs a writing campaign from thousands of female Unison members pointing out that trans people have as many rights as anyone else and that it is not just or equitable to grant them extra rights such as access to female only spaces - which is what this is all about.
