So the National fed is organising training on their policy ( the organisation with woman in their title , yet doesn’t know what a woman is…..)

Their policy which says about twice as much on trans and gender than it says on disability . …… and promotes organisations that promotes gender ideology to minors ( they no longer promote Mermaids since they were embarrassed into removing that but still promote others )

The trainer Ellie Grady from EDUK puts her pronouns ( she / they ) in their sign off.

I am in the WI on a committee and I have signed up mainly as a spy . Most sessions on their zoom are recorded . This one isn’t going to be ….

What do we know about the trainer Ellie Grady? Any photos of her?
Previous sessions ? What might I expect ?

How can someone with slow handwriting keep a record of what happens if they aren’t recording centrally , without drawing attention to my ineptitude?

Going to be interesting post Cass methinks .

Ooh, please ask them what they consider to be the most important area of the EDI for WIs to focus on in order to encourage access for all members and possible members of the WI?

and if they don’t answer age or disability smack them virtually with a wet fish. Please and thank you.

I can answer this for the university where I work - it's trans that are most important as they suffer more than anyone else, I know because I asked our EDI people. I followed up with a question on when they will focus on women and misogyny that is rife in the institution and apparently they intend to get round to that once they've sorted the priority area. So that's a relief

I recently used my phones Voice Memo function to record a long meeting I had by zoom on the computer (iPhone)

and then in sheer laziness I used the Dictate function on Microsoft word to transcribe the meeting. It was wrong in numerous places but I decided be easier to edit than type it all out.

'The trainer Ellie Grady from EDUK puts her pronouns ( she / they )...'
'She' AND [or even OR] 'they'?? Aren't they mutually exclusive?

Are you allowed record things by stealth? It sounds a bit dodgy - aren't people supposed to be made aware they're being recorded?

Audio record on your phone. Or set your phone to record the screen and audio.

Ask all the embarrassing questions about how they comply with the EA and the impact of Forester etc. Oh, and safeguarding as you will have vulnerable members. And religion. Asking about women will get you feck all.

Can you ask about the fucking fuckity fucking glossary of terms that accompany their Equality Policy not defining ‘lesbian’ but defining words like agender and cross dressing please? Fucking fucks.

also have you collabed with the gender critical WI twitter handle? Unsure who they are but they might be good to connect with.

Or even screen record it?
