It adds that 'crossdressers' cannot join the WI as 'only those living as women can join the WI'.

How can they tell?

I can't see the harm. It will only be a few folk. Don't agree with the sport issue though. Because that is an unfair advantage.

One man makes it a mixed sex space which completely changes the dynamic.

Imo you're looking at it the wrong way round. If a WI group had 20 members, and one man joined, yes, it's only one man, but he's impacting 20 women.

Read the comments on the petition. Women say no

Too long so far. It should never have started. The first person that said TERF should have been stoned with tampons.

How long do you think it will be before we can look back and say "What the fuck was all that about?".

Oh - I see the original thread has been moved to petitions. Hadn't realised. For anyone who hasn't read the original thread use the link above. There's about 6/7 pages of comments

Here is the yahoo link to the Telegraph verion of the story. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/backlash-members-over-wi-decision-192127930.html

Great to see there is a group called Women's Institute Women's Declaration.
