Sexist Unions boycott Labour women's conference

[fromorbit]

Unison, Aslef, Usdaw and the Musicians Union are planning to not attend Labour Women's Conference on 26 September 2026 in Liverpool because men are not allowed.

This is breaking Labour party rules against sex discrimination against women and that the Supreme Court judgement is correct:

This could be a huge issue for Burnham and Labour. Especially as Unison, & Unite are already facing court cases over their refusal to admit women exist.

Like the recent Amnesty trainwreck this could be a self inflicted car crash for TAs in the unions. It will force Labour to choose between reality and catering to a bunch of sexists who don't like it when women get have political meetings without male supervision.

OK, thanks for letting me know that you are GC in the sense of not being GC in any way.

Are you able to address each of the questions posed by @JanesLittleGirl individually? "Unhinged" is not particularly helpful, nor is the 'lots of you believe trans people don't exist'.

Sometimes, that’s all someone has when the arguments they are presenting are not coherent or well thought out. It’s kind of sad really.

If many don’t believe they exist, how can they ‘be desperate to centre them in their own battles’?

What does the wider scope show we're in far more danger from?

We may have to agree to just live with being mutually frustrated and crack on.

The patriarchy. We're far more likely to die due to medical misogyny than 'death by trans'. Not that you'd know it here.

And yet they manage it.

Sure, Jan.

If they do insist on giving it out, then surely they can take it?

I’ve never seen a point go over someone’s head so spectacularly.

Riiiight 😐.

So let me check - are you saying that medical misogyny (does that include male Drs who insist on treating women against their wishes btw?) is more likely to kill us than trans people so we should not be concerned by women's rights to privacy, dignity and safety being dismantled?

The Patriarchy:

No. I'm saying we're literally more likely to die due to medical misogyny. Which isn't down to male doctors solely. Female doctors are just as likely to dismiss a woman or girl's symptoms and pain. The entire medical establishment is built on the idea that all humans are male. Pretending that a trans woman existing and using a public loo is worse than that is utterly deranged.

Oh you have a meme. How intelligent.

Any more red herrings and there will be a massive shoal of them on here.

Is it? It’s just a meme.

Do you think male Drs examining women against their will is an example of that medical misogyny?

And do you think that literally the only issue is men using women's toilets?

’I’m GC but not GC like you people who think trans people don’t exist but obsess over them anyway’ as that makes sense. It’s like a bat call has went out judging by the last few days.

The wording on that meme has it nailed, however.

It really does.

I just dont understand, if you say you are roughly in agreement with gc views, why you spend so much apparent effort rebuking women on this board. Do you not see what I mean?

Its like this comment. Just a sneer. Contributing nothing. Why bother?

Genuine question, btw
