Ms Mackenzie believes that trans activism has become the de facto policy of her union and that it directly threatens women’s rights.
“I’d begun to notice a change in the nature of the motions in the equality section occurring around 2016,” she recalls. “When you’re on the National Standing Orders committee, you get a wide oversight of the state of the union. You’re seeing every motion from every branch and you have to determine if they’re competent and within the rules. I was the only female on it and there are no women on it now.
“Among those being put forward, there were suddenly many concerning trans rights. I began to fear some of the demands within these motions might be in breach of the Equality Act 2010 and carried the potential to bring the union into disrepute.
“Whenever I started to talk about issues from a woman’s perspective someone in meetings would always say ‘and transwomen’. But these were biological men. I assumed that more people would speak up. But as time passed I felt I needed to try to understand this ideology more.”
She says as the campaign by trans activists to cancel her award proceeded, it was accompanied by moves to humiliate her in public.
