  • My workplace holds a pride picnic at the office every year, but since the supreme court ruling (uk), many of the staff that attend are refusing as the company won’t make a statement confirming it will not follow the “interim guidance” that would essentially ban our one (1) trans employee from using the toilets at the office, and encourage more to be at risk of harassment.

    Since we WFH usually these social events are the only times many of us visit the office, but also how HR tries to lure us back since the CEO is subtly pro-RTO.

    Since we’re a subsidiary of a big insurance conglomerate, HR is trying to palm it off to them and saying they’re “still discussing” the implications of following it or not. They’ve also tried to dangle a carrot in front of LGBT staff by saying they could organise a fundraiser to make the picnic “not just a token event”, and avoided the reason AGAIN.

    TLDR: I got added to the EDI (Bri’ish for DEI) slack channel where this was being discussed and wrote a massive statement about how the ruling was pseudoscientific bullshit that’ll only make LGBT staff not wanna work here, and if they dont wanan work here neither will I.
