A Civil service diversity adviser has been blasted for linking women's rights groups to the far-Right and suggesting they are calling for trans genocide.

Saorsa-Amatheia Tweedale, the transgender ambassador for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), claimed fascists giving Nazi salutes had been 'welcomed' on rallies by so-called gender critical campaigners abroad.

Her motion called on the union's national executive council to produce a leaflet and campaign 'which highlights the links between the far-Right, religious fundamentalist and gender critical ideologies'.

She also asked the PCS's ruling body to 'promote an understanding of what genocide can look like in... anti-trans narratives', and a member's bulletin about 'biological essentialism'.

The conference motion has sparked fury among the public sector.

Critics pointed out that gender critical views are protected by law and are common among Left-wing feminists.

One civil servant said: 'To use the word genocide to describe a belief in sex being real is an insult to the victims of actual genocides.'
