Tunnock’s has been asked to clarify its stance on trans rights after being accused of donating products to a group accused of transphobia.
The beloved Scots brand have been questioned on their stance after a group advocating for the separation of trans people from the LGBT+ movement shared a picture of the brands sweet treats which they claim were “donated” for their conference.
Posting on Twitter, the group said: “Many thanks to @TunnockOfficial who kindly donated generous quantities of their fabulous caramel wafers and the legendary Tunnock’s Tea Cake. Both were gulped down by a hungry LGB crowd and lovely straight and trans allies.”
Some have now vowed to “boycott” the company if they are found to have given the group their backing.
The LGB Alliance have been branded a ‘hate group’ by activists due to their eradication of the ‘T’ in LGBT+.
They claim biological differences should take precedent over someone’s right to gender self-identification.
Reacting to the Tunnock’s tweet, one Twitter user said: “I wonder if @TunnockOfficial actually support this hate group or if they just send freebies to anyone who asks? Will be interesting to find out (and boycott accordingly).”
Another said: “Dear @TunnockOfficial did you mean to be promoting the removal of “T”? Seems a bit odd Face with tears of joy also trans phobia is a bad look.”
Speakers at the LGB Alliance conference, which took place at the QEII centre in Westminster, included disgraced TV writer Graham Linehan who was banned from Twitter for a ‘hateful conduct rules breach’ last year.
The Daily Record has contacted Tunnock’s for comment.
