Unions kick women to the curb.

The trade union movement “spat in the face of women in the workplace” when they rejected the Supreme Court’s ruling on biological sex, the co-editor of a bestselling gender-critical book has said.

Susan Dalgety said misogyny still “festers at the heart” of unions after delegates at the Trades Union Congress (TUC) unanimously voted to dismiss updated guidance on single-sex spaces.

The motion, which was carried at the TUC’s annual conference in Brighton on Tuesday, declared that April’s Supreme Court ruling breached the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

There is no “human right” for men to force everyone to agree that men are women.

Dalgety, who co-edited The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht, a collection of essays by prominent gender-critical women including the Harry Potter author JK Rowling and the academic Kathleen Stock, accused the trade union movement of having a “blatant disregard for the law as set out by the highest court in the land”.

She wrote: “No delegate recalled the fight for women’s rights, led by the trade union movement of the 1960s and 1970s, that resulted in not only the Equal Pay Act but the 1975 Sex Discrimination Act, on which the 2010 Equality Act is based.

“Instead, delegates made cheap jibes against author and philanthropist JK Rowling and warned of ‘segregation’ in the workplace if transgender men were not allowed to use women’s single-sex toilets and changing rooms. Women trade unionists in Scotland have long suffered the misogyny that arguably festers at the heart of the trade union movement.”

And elsewhere.

Susan Smith, co-founder of For Women Scotland, said: “Thanks to the Supreme Court, no one should be in any doubt about the law and the obligations to ensure that women’s rights are universally protected. Sadly, there are still thwarted and angry voices who want to dismantle those rights.

“The TUC would never stand by brazen attempts to attack, for example, the disabled or minority-ethnic groups, but, after over 150 years of defending workers, it seems thrilled by the prospect of betraying women who pay them to uphold their rights in the workplace.”

It never stops being depressing to see how eager “progressives” are to stamp on women.
