A trans woman has been allowed to run for a female seat at Britain's biggest trade union, despite the Supreme Court gender ruling.
Ellie Waple has been selected as one of four candidates to fill the women's disabled members' seat on Unison's National Executive Council.
The autistic train enthusiast is a member of the union's Surrey branch and was born blind, and also has cerebral palsy.
In Waple's nomination statement, the IT technician and self-proclaimed socialist criticises Labour and says 'that is increasingly showing itself to be unwilling to support working class people'.
She has pledged to 'build a movement that fights against Starmer’s war and austerity agenda', reported the Telegraph.
