Monzo bank - Women in Finance Charter

I think the likelihood of the split being 50% cismen and 50% transwomen is extremely unlikely. However, if that were the reality, I would say we had achieved our goal as it is the ‘women in finance charter’ and we would have 50% women on our board

There seems to be one GC person on there, but they're being drowned out by the wokeness

Fuck sake. I really like this bank too Sad

Has anyone ever even thought to suggest > how about 50% women 50% transmen?

No?

Why not. (Rhetorical)

Well, fuck them, really.

It's amazing how quickly so many people including women are deciding that a world with no cunty people in positions of visibility, and all taken 50% men 50% those who ID as women will be job done for womens rights.

It's completely bonkers.

Didn't someone from a political party say the same about parliament, at a womens meeting? That they'd celebrate it as a triumph for women if there were literally no cunty people in parliament. I mean presumably they were in parliament, so would be happy to hand over to a pips bunce type and see them as better qualifieid to work for women?

Good reply from 'rosie'

'Transwomen are transwomen and I very much welcome Monzo making efforts to include transpeople in their senior structures.
Women face their own structural challenges that are not the same as those that transwomen face, and it is important that Monzo tackles that as a separate issue.'

Quite so. Women are subject to structural sexism because of biology. Trans people (TW and TM) may well face other issues, but it serves no one (except, cynically, men) to conflate these groups and the solutions required to address inequities.

It's a shame, because in other ways they are a really good bank.

How disappointing, my son in law has just advised me to set up an account. I won’t be after that incredible stupid statement.

Wow; that's disappointing. I'm an Alpha account holder there... I may have to rethink.
