Andrea Egan standing to be the general secretary of unison has apparently never heard of the Sandie Peggie case, doesn't understand the issues and compares it to banning ppl with blue eyes

because she's clearly a total fuckwit

Women's conference now limited to biological women

Following the UK Supreme Court's decision in For Women Scotland Ltd v Scottish Ministers and the subsequent Certification Officer decision in Flaherty v UNISON the union has reviewed the eligibility requirements for positions reserved for women. Members are advised that eligibility for seats reserved for women under the Equality Act 2010 is determined by biological sex. For these purposes, "biological sex" means sex at birth and a reserved women's seat is open only to members who are biologically female. This clarification is intended to ensure that the union's election processes are conducted in accordance with current legal requirements and applicable union rules.

Won't have to wait long for trantrums you could see from space. And I expect some of the usual suspects will be along here any second to explain why this is post-colonialist transmisogyny. Or summat.
