And she is 100% right. @unitetheunion
J.K. Rowling has published a new essay today - and she has some particularly strong words for trade unions and their treatment of women.
She accuses union leaders of abandoning working-class women in favour of their own “luxury beliefs”.
She also makes a powerful point about privilege: those championing trans ideology are often the people least likely to experience its consequences.
Think MPs such as Stella Creasy, senior BBC executives or NHS managers on six-figure salaries - compared with nurses sharing workplace changing rooms, rape survivors relying on support services or women in low-paid jobs.
Rowling also reveals that applications to her Women’s Fund involving private companies have fallen markedly, while publicly funded institutions continue to resist the Supreme Court ruling.
A damning indictment of organisations that are supposed to defend workers - not work against them.

Genius business model by @Garmin
They sell you a £400 watch which after little over 2 years, battery dies. Unusable. You complain to them and their idea of solving the problem is to make more money by offering you to PAY another £130 for a second hand one! 😳
Seriously??
Couldn’t agree more. Currently considering leaving @unitetheunion after 31 years for that very reason.
They’re all for men in women’s spaces, not so much for women.
I am a committed trade unionist of 35 years standing. I am proud of everything the trade union movement has achieved throughout history. But its abandonment of women fighting to defend their sex-based rights makes me ashamed. Whenever there is a successful tribunal or court result for women - such as today, with the Darlington nurses - mainstream unions are nowhere to be seen. And invariably they lament the outcome. Women are being forced to rely on the Free Speech Union and Christian groups to fight their corner. It’s an utter disgrace.

If @British_Airways do not honour this clause, our members will have the full support of @unitetheunion. Unite stands ready to defend our BA members on this by all means necessary, including full support for industrial action. @BASSA_2000 #JobsPayConditions ⤵️
Shame on you, @unitetheunion. As a committed @BASSA_2000 member of 29 years, I am disgusted and saddened.

Shameful. Scotland’s big 3 trade unions: GMB, UNITE and UNISON vote against a motion upholding women’s rights. What price equity? #WomenWontWheesht

As British Airways announces £7billion overhaul
#britishairways dailymail.co.uk/travel/artic…
Once upon a time, many many decades ago, there was a #britishairways flight that actually arrived on time.
@British_Airways
Right. It is an UF from me. Until the left stops this nonsense, it is a goodbye from me.

It is a mystery to me how #BritishAirways gets away with so many cancellations. Three out of five of their daily MAD flights cancelled on probably the busiest weekend of the year and throughout the summer. I mean, why do ACL allow @British_Airways to keep wasted slots at LHR?
It is something of a miracle to actually be on time on a British Airways flight these days. It’s just shocking.
@vueling Llevo esperando desde junio del 2022 una compensación por la cancelación de un vuelo. La atención por teléfono es desesperante y por email inexistente. De verdad la única manera es llegar a una denuncia en consumo?
