Another credulous fool steps up.
The incoming boss of the UK’s biggest trade union has claimed she would not be comfortable representing someone like Sandie Peggie.
What is “someone like Sandie Peggie”? A woman who is a hospital nurse who doesn’t want to have to change her clothes with a man in the changing room. The top union boss would feel oooky having to represent her. Have we reached peak disgusting yet?
Andrea Egan, who will take charge of Unison on January 22, asked “what were the real issues” in a high-profile employment tribunal brought by the nurse against NHS Fife.
…
Asked how she would react if a similar case came to Unison, Egan told Politics Home: “I haven’t followed that case.
“But what were the real issues within that? I have trans friends, trans women friends; my nephew is a trans man. I wouldn’t have an issue. I’d want to understand. Because the argument can then develop to anybody saying… ‘Well, I don’t want you there because you’ve got blonde hair’ or ‘I don’t want them there because they’ve got blue eyes’,” Egan says.
Really? So then all public toilets should be for both sexes?
The union chief’s comments were questioned by Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid.
“I’m concerned by these comments from Ms Egan,” she said. “They suggest a fundamental misunderstanding of the law and a troubling lack of regard for women’s safety.
“Trade unions have a long and proud history of standing up for women at work and in society more broadly and that principle should be upheld without equivocation.”
Damn right they should.
