Not sure about the wording of this:

“It is disgraceful that a service has been used by the Scottish government for ideological reasons by making funding conditional on men being included in the service. In reality, this means men were to be included in a service set up by women to help women who had been raped or sexually abused by men.”

I can't work out if Ros Whyte thinks rape crisis should have no services for men, or is simply referring to males in women's groups (who ID as women).

If it's the latter it's so important to get the message across clearly, rather than sounding like men shouldn't have access to support after SA (although we know there will be far, far fewer men needing the service). Still, we know how TRAs will spin it...

Also article refers to most centres being "trans inclusive", that old chestnut. Implying that anything else excludes trans people based on their trans status. Rather than the reality of including trans people, but not allowing them to ID into opposite sex groups or services.
I know it has quote marks around but it's so important to explain what "trans inclusive" means!
