I am not sure what this organisation is for TBH nor why they are named after a suffragette.

Still trying to sit on the fence then! Do they have TW on their Board or something?

We recognise the importance of maintaining sex as a protected characteristic, while also adopting an inclusive starting point for trans and non-binary people.

Some things are mutually exclusive. Of course trans and 'non binary' people should be included, without prejudice, in everything where sex doesn't matter. If that's what they meant by an 'inclusive starting point' then fine. (But it probably wasn't).

Wait, what? I thought they represented women?

Me neither. Gaslighters. Makes me very cross.

how??

You either keep male-bodied people out of female single sex spaces or you don't. Or are they meaning third spaces? (somehow I doubt it)

I think they used to campaign for women's rights.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 22/09/2020 16:50

We remain of the view that it is possible to progress and recognise both trans rights and defend the rights of all women, including women who are trans.

Do they mean TWAW - or TM? Confused

Me thinks the former.
