Nothing yet? Have they not said anything?

17.29, they are cutting it fine Lord.

Wow they really are a Union if Action aren’t they?

Well done GMB.

"We want to make it clear that GMB supports our trans members, condemns transphobia in the strongest terms and commits to continuing to practically support and campaign alongside the trans community."

Bully for them. Do they also support our women members, condemn misogyny in the strongest terms and commits to continue (debatable) to practically support (nasty split infinitive) and campaign for equal pay and conditions for women?

for women too?

Oh well, bugger GMB then. They clearly don’t give a fuck about women.

Well done GMB.

"We want to make it clear that GMB supports our trans members, condemns transphobia in the strongest terms and commits to continuing to practically support and campaign alongside the trans community."

Source?

"We want to make it clear that GMB supports our trans members, condemns transphobia in the strongest terms and commits to continuing to practically support and campaign alongside the trans community."

And when this campaign, by males, for males, shits all over our female and LGB members, we'll inform them that they should know their place. Because we condemn transphobia in the strongest terms, but male supremacism and homophobia are fine.

Also how interesting we have someone on a feminist board who has apparently come here to celebrate the prioritising of males at the cost of females.

Still waiting on the source...

Isn't it?

So GMB won't support women. Don't worry GMB we won't forget.

Looks like MNHQ has secured someone better anyway.

That statement dates back to the 25th May:

I thought it wasn't current! No new news on their website that I can see.

What, you mean to suggest that FalseImage may not entirely be posting in good faith, knowing that people were expecting an announcement today? I'm shocked!

No😱

GMB

Guarding Men's Backs.

But FalseImage, you are one of the Trans-obsessives who give MN and FWR a bad name. It seems very unfair that ordinary women miss out because some people are absolutely incapable of talking about anything by transwomen. Even when posts are about other things.

My best guess is that you are young and did an Allsorts course in Brighton and somehow think that this is the way to make friends.

I suggest you, and anyone from GMB, look at the money boards, and the debt threads, and realise that some of your fellow humans, even if they are "just" ordinary women, are suffering.

Are GMB doing anything for the trans community?

Ereshkigalangcleg Hi there, we meet again, how unexpected...! Yes it must be, whatever you say obviously. But wait, let's see... nope wrong again. Sorry to disappoint you so much.

Your empathy for, and affinity with, women, is blinding.

Or, blindingly obvious, I should say.

Honestly, does the clash of interests, conflict, disparity never, ever bring you up short? Even for a second?

It's quite ridiculous to suggest GMB don't support women just because they're saying they do support the transgender community, which consists of men and women.

12,000,000 users on here.

We know lockdown is hitting women harder than men - trying to juggle WFH and home schooling, often in precarious employment (hospitality sector decimated by covid, transport sector, nursery care), part time (so first in line for job cuts if their firm has to axe jobs), working in the NHS (at huge risk to their own personal safety).

And you, FalseImage, are celebrating cutting off support from a trade union for all of those women, because you disagree with the views of a small group on the feminism board.

You really, really hate women, don't you?

Sigh. They cancelled an important Q&A which would help women during this time of uncertainty, all on the say so of a misogynist with one tweet for alleged MN's Transphobia. So no GMB do not support women.
