How will they know if ftm applicants have had surgery?

Apparently, trans men can if they've had surgery (and knowing the masons, they'd really check).

Just us boring women 1.0 who are a sub species.

Hoping somebody can link to the threads, but Edward Lord is currently stealth pushing for men to be able to use women's loos in the city of London.

Funny as he's a Freemason who was criticised for not enabling transwomen to be part of the freemasons.

TW obviously still have male privilege seeing as they can be a Mason but women can't.

This is quite good actually for undermining the TRA agenda.

What about transmen? Are they also allowed?

I'd have more of an opinion on it if I knew they did or did not allow transmen.

Either way it's quite funny. TWAW oh, right, so why are TW accepted into "the brotherhood" and Women aren't...

Who he?

Logical misogyny.

Well, that clearly suggests that the Freemasons don't actually believe that "transwomen are women". Such transphobes. And surely no transwomen would want to be part of such a society, as it would be triggering for them?

BigGreenOlives · 01/08/2018 07:56

So that means trans women are not women or they could not stay. Having exemptions that maintain male privilege undermines the cause.

I think Edward Lord's been doing a bit of PR.
