I worked as a DEI advisor in several Scottish public sector organisations. I was a unison rep and TUC disabled workers committee member. all the information I was getting was TWAW and no opposing beliefs were communicated to us. Gender, not Sex, was the langauge used in all policies. Boards were gender balanced (TW could be women). rainbow laces and lanyards, LGBT+ allies staff networks but no disabled staff or BAME networks (as 'no demand'), staff expected to attend pride marches, get training from the Scottish Transgender Alliance, Stonewall diversity champions, Stonewall person sat on the equallity advisory group, disabled toilets changed to 'gender neutral' meaning the only disabled toilet I could use I had to now queue for, final straw came in 2019 when I was told off for using the wrong pronouns in an agenda where a transwoman was a keynote speaker. I went on long term sick, made grievances of disability and sex discrimination, I wish I'd had someone like NC or Sex Matters supporting me as Unison reps could have been better. They got me a settlement, but made me drop the sex discrimination complaint as it was 'unlikely to succeed'.
I am no longer in Unison and I transitioned to work for an organisation that supports a single PC - not sex or gender reassignment. My job title is not DEI anymore so that's someone else's responsibility. However, I keep my mouth shut as I could struggle to find alternative employment if things change here. I am very much a DEI professional at heart, but its hard to do that job without drinking the kool aid. Maybe, if I ever get the money, I'll study law instead.
