The Fawcett Society is transwomen inclusive isn't it. Other organisations must be involved, like Sex Matters etc.

Time for a women's caucus

Drawing on inspiration from the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Senedd and the Scottish Parliament, the Fawcett Society will shortly convene all women MPs to facilitate the launching of a powerful women’s caucus.

Let's think all about women..... by first worrying about have we sufficiently worried about and prioritised men.

I have no energy left for this kind of nonsense, I just walk away from it.

The SNP's downfall is more to do with the fact that they're not campaigning for independence any more. The Troughers down the Bay don't have the same Achilles heel.

The fawcett society are complete quislings

@TheywontletmehavethenameIwant

it worked out so well for the SNP in the Scottish Parliament.

With Harriet Harman in charge of the 'laydies', you can kiss your hardwon rights goodbye. She has a history of favouring blokes, especially the ones who want to break safeguards against women and children.

this sounds like “let all get together with people who agree with us’ to how we can screw over women.

I think this is why I get especially angry when women force us to accept men in single sex spaces. We expect men not to understand and we have a movement for that - feminism. But other women speaking for us feels too much because as well as consenting on our behalf (essentially "I'm alright Jack") they also take the platform feminism has and bend it towards their own aims. So no autonomy, no voice and no movement. It hurts.

They're 'Drawing on inspiration from the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Senedd and the Scottish Parliament', I can't speak to the other's but the Senedd have sold women down the river completely, so I dread to think what this initiative would produce.

You know, I just can't be bothered to check out how they'll choose these groups. I've seen it happen in Bristol. Nice Liberal head girls patting themselves on their backs when they've been ignoring women for so long.
I bet in their patrician minds they think this will settle us all down.

However, we have some concerns with the guidance. We believe some of the examples that are given to wider service providers as they consider their approaches to the inclusion of trans people are confusing and lack detail. In some cases, we believe the examples used suggest a threshold for the exclusion of trans people that is too low. We are worried that this will have a disproportionate impact on trans people.
