AP: won't go through all transcript but theme is ppl were anti GC and pro trans and upset about grant. Bulk of it?
SM: certainly lot of people who asserted LGBa was anti trans group and disagreed with DF comments. AP: u didn't say u disagreed u just ignored her comments
SM: the ppl disagreed
AP: re ur decision about ur opinion that LGBA being anti trans...where 2 beliefs are protected it's not appropriate for senior manager like u to comment on your opinion

AP: [reads] that's anti GC isnt it?
SM: I agree
AP: [reads] agree anti GC?
SM: yes
AP: it's suggesting that person grant director may have been biased and engineered award. Serious allegation? SM: I agree that's why we insist on due diligence so no question decisions not taken with ulterior motives
AP: 15 thumbs up emojis indicating GC staff can't be trusted?
SM: shows they agree with her message

Afternoon session begins.
AM - you didn't complain about SM immediately after the Teams meeting because you were worried about consequences. The first part of your response - you are quite robust, you tick him, one side of the argument, didn't foster a good environment, AM - thats not a person who is afraid to express views.
DF - it was robust but it was my pride speaking. I did feel that I couldn't at that point raise an objection to how he behaved because I wouldn't have been supported.
AM - but you did raise an objection to his behaviour.

@threadreaderapp J: I'm not going to give a judgement at this point as will take up time, but will allow recusal of laymember. Summarise that laymember at the time was a senior member of org that campaigned on issues opposed by A. @threadreaderapp J: He is inevitably associated with views expressed on opposite side of A. He was partic association taken partic interest campaigning in that respect. Difficult to see how general secretary could be disassociated from those views. Could be real possibility of unconscious bias.
