"Trade unions have a strong feminist history of contesting imposed meanings of woman & man, of providing resources & spaces for gender-diverse people to reproduce social life, & of supporting all workers in becoming free."

Proud we passed this motion unanimously.

This branch believes that: The attack on trans people is bad for workers of all genders. Trade unions have a strong feminist history of contesting imposed meanings of woman and man, of providing resources and spaces for gender-diverse people to reproduce social life, and of supporting all workers in becoming free. Consolidating and strengthening these commitments is more important than ever. The UK Supreme Court has conflated a brief visual inspection at birth and the consequent administrative claim with “biological sex”. This is “biologically nonsensical” according to the BMA’s emergency motion. University workers have conducted scientific and cultural research which understands sexual biology to be complex, diverse and historically changing. This work has documented and challenged common sense use of biology-based arguments in justifying exploitation, oppression and discrimination. Any questioning of colleagues, students or guests on campus about their ‘biological sex’ constitutes harassment, and should not be tolerated. Universities should provide a shared infrastructure that is welcoming, inclusive, and encourages people to encounter each other as equals.
