Why are Fawcett staying so silent???? Are they afraid?

I caught the comment about Sam Smethers being tight-lipped as others on the panel said they would be happy for transwomen to be half of AWS.... I do NOT understand why the brave Fawcett Society who have championed women for so long and so unfashionably are NOT speaking up...

I did start wondering if it is because they are worried they will lose the position they've acquired - go to organisation for politicos and media on women and inequality - if they are outspoken and gender critical.... whether they have decided this is a battle that might be lost and would therefore endanger their organisation

That said, surely if they did it in an even handed way, enabling women's voices to be heard??? Surely they could do something powerful

I'm so disappointed in Fawcett. I had Hugh high hopes of them given the careful wording of their trans statement. But someone just told me they support Gendered Intelligence Sad

As you say it's fear of losing their position, funding maybe and generally not being invited to the party amongst the current woke politicians.

It's a tightrope I imagine because if they let women down and allow males to dominate they will lose female support and respect.
