A government department is embroiled in a peculiar row over whether staff can wear 'fetish gear' to work following complaints from civil servants about a transgender colleague, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Employees in the Department for Work and Pensions are objecting to the 'highly inappropriate' workwear of a fellow official which last week prompted a Tory peer to ask the Government about its 'policy on civil servants wearing fetish clothing in the workplace'.
It is understood that Baroness Jenkin of Kennington tabled the unusual question to reflect her general concerns about the dress code and also in response to the specific issues raised by civil servants about one Whitehall diversity ambassador.
Saorsa-Amatheia Tweedale, a trans woman who works for the DWP, has previously come under fire for saying that trans children's demands for puberty blockers should take precedence over their 'parents' will'.
The civil servant, who co-chairs the Civil Service LGBT+ network, has also been criticised for linking women's rights groups to the far-Right and suggesting they are calling for trans genocide
Colleagues of Saorsa-Amatheia Tweedale (pictured), a trans woman who works for the DWP, have complained over her work attire, as she is known to wear fishnet tights, low-cut black corsets, high heels and a gothic choker with a pentagram.

Honestly, I don't know what to think anymore. What's going on in this country is just too stupid for sensible people to comprehend. I mean, a male civil servant decides to identify as a woman and go to work dressed as a bondage dominatrix, and lets face it under a Labour government he'll probably get a bondage gear allowance. We must be the laughing stock of the world.
