A women’s health campaigner and former local Labour women’s officer has been banned from the party’s women’s conference because she is trans.
No, not because he is trans; because he is a man. It’s a women’s conference.
Steph Richards is ‘gutted’ at her treatment by the party which she said once selected her as a candidate from an all-women shortlist.
And it shouldn’t have. Men should never be on all-women shortlists.
Metro revealed yesterday that four powerful Labour unions – Unison, Aslef, Usdaw, and the Musicians’ Union – are boycotting the event over the ban.
So four powerful Labour unions want men to be able to take what was intended for women. Might as well let the bosses take what was meant for the workers; it makes just as much sense.
