Interesting timing, releasing this the day before the consultation closes: www.fawcettsociety.org.uk/Handlers/Download.ashx?IDMF=bfa3ae68-abee-478d-b59b-71572881b5a0

tl;dr let's all be nice and inclusive

Excellent. I've been wondering for ages whether to carry on supporting the Fawcett Society. They've cleared that up nicely.

Fuck off, Fawcett Society. Your founders would be embarrassed.

Fuck off, Fawcett Society

From the Fawcett Society website:
"The fight to defend women's rights is getting harder by the day. That's why we need people like you who believe in defending them. The most effective way to campaign for women's rights is by becoming a Fawcett member".

From the Fawcett Society GRA statement:

Trans women should, subject to an appropriate and effective risk assessment, be treated as women within the prison system, which already deals with women who are a risk to other women. It is
clearly unacceptable to keep trans women in the mainstream male estate.

Fawcett’s view is that opening up AWS beyond transwomen with a GRC would be welcome.

Evidence from a Stonewall survey....

They have lost the plot. AngryAngry

The fawcett society is no longer fit for purpose, it's time for another organisation to actually work for the representation of women. Shame, I used to be a donor.
