Today a member of TUC staff, Mika Minio-Paluello, is being subjected to anti-trans abuse online, because she is a mother. This is unacceptable. Everyone should be safe and respected at work.

The TUC calls on everyone who shares our trade union values to reject transphobia and stand up for the right to safety, dignity and respect. LGBT+ rights are workers' rights.

@JackyHolyoake @The_TUC You know Trans rights were also under the 2010 Equality Act

@Geraldi31348001 @The_TUC Indeed they are, via the protected characteristic of "gender reassignment", which is distinct and separate from the protected characteristic of sex.

@JackyHolyoake @The_TUC Not anymore. The men have spoken.
