The Government must reform the Gender Recognition Act based on self-declaration says GMB in letter to Liz Truss

[stumbledin]

GMB union has today written to the Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, Liz Truss around the Prime Minister’s recent remarks to halt reform of the Gender Recognition Act which would allow people to change their legal gender by self-declaration.

The letter asks the Government to reform the Gender Recognition Act based on self-declaration and urges them to do more to tackle discrimination against trans and non-binary people.

As a trade union we pride ourselves on being welcoming to all and with rising hate crime against trans people we have a responsibility to stand up for their right to live with dignity, privacy and respect, free from fear, isolation and discrimination in the workplace and wider society.

You can be against hate crime and not support self declaration.

How exactly would self ID combat hate crime anyway?

Oh hey Flores. Just been busy.

😂😂🙌🏽

It seems to work for Batman, The Penguin really hates him.
Other than that, I'm scratching my head.

[GMB General Secretary] Roache created a larger ‘casting couch’ culture in the union and accuses senior staff of having “colluded many times in a cover up of Tim Roache’s sexist and aggressive behaviour towards women, while polishing their feminist credentials”

Seems like the leadership of the GMB might not be the best people to decide what is safe for women.

Merry. Are they MEN 😂😂😂

Well, let’s not jump to any conclusions.

I’m sure men are just a shifting constellation or whatever, maybe man, woman, table, pot plant...

Of course they did.

They opebly alienated thousands of clients online so its natural of course that instead of apologising they double down and make themselves look even more incompetent.

Theres always so much desperation to "recruit " others so as not to be idiots alone.

Seen it soooo many times before
