The WI has welcomed transgender women as members for more than 40 years, but said it felt it ‘had no other choice’ to now exclude them
Another day, another appalling step backwards in the fight for trans rights in the UK.
The Women's Institute has accepted trans women as members for over 40 years, and now, because of the recent Supreme Court ruling that trans women don't count as women under the Equality Act, they are foregoing this decades old policy.
Disgusting.
#you can tell people don’t actually read these articles bc it says#quite explicitly that they’re going to be setting up groups so they can continue to#support trans women#they unequivocally say /in the article/ that trans women are women#who do you think will mourn the WI if it’s shut down for non compliance?#the WI have been the butt of a million misogynistic jokes for decades#they aren’t widely respected please be real#helping make their trans inclusive initiatives a success will do more for the women effected#than bitching about how a charity should just be prepared to shut down to make a point#(aimed at the notes not op. I’ve been upset about this news since yesterday so)
