If you are in a union you will know you haven't been consulted on this. As Pilgrim Tucker says the vast majority left it to lgbt committees to decide. Women weren't centred at all.
This is a big deal for so many women who will not be able to seek out union support if they have concerns over male sexed bodies sharing changing rooms, accommodation and all the usual. We won't be able to access their help if the GRA reform goes through.
So it could potentially exclude women from diverse cultural backgrounds from work when many already face significant barriers. Not to mention women who have experienced trauma and obviously women who simply do not want to share intimate facilities because they just don't want to.
I feel very angry. The unions apart from FBU have casually handed away our rights without any real consideration. It seems they have either accepted that TWAW or are too cowardly to speak out in this toxic climate or just don't take safeguarding seriously and are too ill informed to realise how very, very few men don't keep their cocks.
If you are in a union please, please do complain.
Thank you to the FBU who have abstained with a view to consulting with women. Obviously I would have preferred 'oppose' but I think right now, it was pretty brave.
