Strongest when

How do intelligent adults let themselves get so stupid?

…Unison stands for every member’s right to work free from discrimination, and that includes standing firmly for the rights of all women, and this includes trans women.

And thus it includes no women.

What is the point of talking about rights, and standing for rights? There is no point unless there are antagonists who want to deny or violate or ignore such rights. In short, cui bono? Who benefits from this ridiculous push to say women’s rights are for men? It ain’t women, so who is left?

If you include men in women’s rights then women’s rights become meaningless. We’re watching it happen.

Women’s rights and trans rights are not in conflict.

Yes they are. Of course they are. We’ve been documenting and demonstrating this for more than a decade.

Our movement is strongest when we are all together.

Yes all together in the women’s toilets and women’s promotions and women’s refuges, yeah? Rapists in with the victims, right?

    I’m member of UNISON and no one has ever asked my opinion on this issue. Something’s gone badly wrong with the union’s policy making process when activists spout such nonsense without consulting ordinary members, most of whom are women.

    Women’s rights and trans rights are not in conflict? Then why does every woman who stands up for her rights as a woman get labelled a transphobe?

    It might be me, but I thought I detected a few moments when she paused for rapturous applause and applause came there none.
