Three UK Labour MPs — Joani Reid, Tonia Antoniazzi and Mary Glindon — have signed a cross-party petition urging Epsom & St Helier NHS Trust to drop disciplinary action against nurse Jennifer Melle, supporting fairness for health workers facing racial abuse and legal uncertainty in the workplace.
An Employment Tribunal has ruled that the Darlington nurses were unlawfully harassed and discriminated against after being required to share women’s changing rooms with a male colleague.
This case underlines the need for clear guidance — and for trade unions to stand firmly with women members.

Strong, focused question from Jackie Baillie MSP today following the Sandie Peggie case, calling for a single, consistent approach across Scotland so women don’t have to complain individually just to have the law applied at work. Exactly the right point to press.

Staggering arrogance and stupidity from McDonnell. We all know what sex we are. There's no reason for men to break the law and use women's single-sex spaces. They can simply respect women's boundaries or can be told to leave. Women matter in society, law, culture, politics ... and elections!

This is the oppression ladder in action. A black lesbian counts for less than a white man who claims to be a woman.
BTW: this man has served time for drug dealing and has domestic abuse on his record.
How can anyone think this is OK?

The EHRC guidance cannot change the law. Any legally constituted female service provision or sport must exclude all males incl. those who identify as women and those with GRCs. So if you want to attempt to undo the legal rights women have fought for over decades you are in the right place to do so.
