To think that the CEO of Edinburgh Rape Crisis should be fired?

The CEO should not be counselling anyone full stop.
Another reason why I think they should be fired.

Quite often in the past no males over 12 were allowed into women's refuges.

As I said, it depends on the nature of the role and what the service users need.

It should not have been. CEO isn’t a job that must be done by a male or female.

The objections to hiring a person as CEO on the basis of their sex are discriminatory.

It entirely depends on the role. Some CEOs would be more hands off and I can imagine that having a man wouldn't be so awful. Mridul actually "counselled" women. There was a poster on the earlier threads who experienced MW disinterestedly scrolling MW's phone while doing it.

Take it up with Rape Crisis, they are the ones who restricted the job to women only.

And Mridul had a near-infinite choice of jobs not requiring him to be female. The users of rape crisis centres have few choices of where to go for single-sex care, and MW didn't care about that at all.

There is no genuine occupational requirement for a CEO of any organisation to be of one sex or another. 🤨

The objections to hiring a person as CEO on the basis of their sex are discriminatory.

Stop trying to frame my comment on sex discrimination as transphobia when that is not what is happening, that is really dishonest.

Mridul knew and should have had the integrity not to apply.

Contrast this, if you will, with the approach of the person currently answering questions on an AMA thread, who is female, presents male, and appears to take infinite care not to embarrass either female patients who might mistakenly believe her male, or male patients who have asked for same-sex care.

Nice blouse,shame there were none available in his size.

The Times article:

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/trans-rape-boss-resign-mridul-wadhwa-2mqxshwq3

And helpful archive link to it: https://archive.ph/S6qgL

Basically says Wadwha's position is untenable and two directors (Miren Sagues, and Katie Horsburgh) have resigned, although Companies House says that Sagues resigned at the end of January this year and Horsburgh resigned on 8th May.

Finally, BBC are reporting

Reframe!

Didn't he suggest previously that rape victims should refrained their trauma 🤔

Apologies @FOJN meant to quote you

Please stop repeating this misinformation. People can lawfully be discriminated against on the basis if sex if there is a genuine occupational requirement for a man or a woman to do a job.

It's worth remembering that at the time ERCC was actually claiming that they used this exception.

👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Mridul Wadhwa is a man. He does not have a GRC. No other man would have been considered for this job, therefore refusing to interview him would not have been discrimination.

Women are not objecting on the basis that he is trans but because he is a MAN. Stop trying to frame the objections as transphobia when that is not what is happening, its really dishonest.

• It's so much easier to write posts now we can call a man a man without getting deleted.

I can’t post the link as you need to subscribe, but The Times reporting that he is under pressure to resign.

I notice that even the most militant of TRAs are largely keeping out of this.

I was just wondering where the usual Mumsnet TWAW! regulars were seeing as this is remaining on AIBU.

Does everyone remember the early interview with Wahwa where he express wonder about his power over whether his actions allowed a family in the US to eat that night or not from his role in India answering calls in the call centre?

I always felt that this is a man who gets something from having power over women getting their needs met or not. That first interview that I heard and all the ones since has never shaken this suspicion.

I will see if I can dig up the interview link if it still exists.

That's ... not the reaction I was expecting from Reddit at all.

Is the tide turning?

Yes the same Maggie Chapman who thought children as young as six should be able to legally change 'gender'.

WTH?

He has no relevant qualifications for it.

We need an enquiry into how he got it in the first place. I'm guessing Maggie Chapman placed some sort in that
