Frankly my only real surprise was that they arranged them in the first place.

Woke misogyny at its finest.

BadLady · 26/05/2020 09:20

Basically, they're "pausing" their relationship with Mumsnet.

Cowards.

FloralBunting · 26/05/2020 09:21

Screw you, working parents who need help with questions about childcare and pregnancy during a pandemic. The GMB thinks that it's much more important to tell Stonewall law lies to employers so they don't provide single sex spaces and force everyone to have pronouns badges. Because that's basically the thrust of the campaign for 'trans rights'.

AnduinsGirl · 26/05/2020 09:21

Fucking cowards.

PositiveVibez · 26/05/2020 09:22

They can't even look after the women who work for them. Let alone their members. No share token sorry, but just Google for further info.

That needs to be added to the Baroness’ reading pile along with the outcomes of that TUC meeting where all of the unions bar one or two went full TWAW. Women (the XX kind) are increasingly being denied effective political representation and employment protections by this creeping implementation of Stonewall law & can’t even turn to their unions for support to uphold their legal rights in the workplace. It is disgusting.

🙄🙄 FFS

JoeExoticsEyebrowRing · 26/05/2020 09:25

Women.... With an opinion.....We must step away.

HorseRadishFemish · 26/05/2020 09:26

I wonder how many of the Six hundred thousand members are "trans members"?

Does anyone know? Could anyone estimate?

Datun · 26/05/2020 09:27

Well said Betty.

Datun · 26/05/2020 09:28

Perhaps the baroness can ask them exactly what they mean. Get it out there.

sorenipples · 26/05/2020 09:28

If my union put out a statement like this I would be cancelling membership as they would have demonstrated that the challenges I face at work as a working mum are not a priority. Really no point in membership.

SunsetBeetch · 26/05/2020 09:30

Utterly pathetic

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 26/05/2020 09:33

Spineless bastards

BringbackLang · 26/05/2020 09:37

Utterly fuming. They are being driven by the woke idiots on Twitter not any consideration of women's rights.

I've only ever met two trans people (and one was very shouty, late transition, made everything they touched about trans) so how come everything has to change to accommodate so few people? You'd think that trans people had been an oppressed majority for hundreds of years, unable to vote, unable to work outside the home, unable to access loos outside the home...

My sister rolls her eyes at me saying there are so few trans people that it won't impact my life at all accepting them as how they want to be accepted, but has no answer when I showed her the smear test leaflet that doesn't mention the word 'women' until page 10 but 'trans' is on the first page.

ArfArfBarf · 26/05/2020 09:44

This made me finally sign up to Mumsnet Premium. It’s clear that there are certain people who won’t be satisfied until women’s voices are totally silenced.

PositiveVibez · 26/05/2020 09:45

It absolutely baffles me that such a sexist workplace would put trans-inclusivity before the equality of women in the workplace. It disgusts me actually.

I contacted them and told them what I think.

Their contact address for anyone not a member.

HorseRadishFemish · 26/05/2020 10:02

floral - as ever, bang on.

SunsetBeetch · 26/05/2020 10:03

I can imagine what the 'activists' that GMB refer to in their statement are like...

NotBadConsidering · 26/05/2020 10:04

The pinned thread at the top of AIBU has gone too

ThinEndoftheWedge · 26/05/2020 10:07

Women at work are being screwed over Covid. Now GMB are happy to do the twisting. Who now gives a fuck about women’s rights in the workplace?

The left has completely and utterly abandoned me.
