RSPB again

the RSPB are STILL organising walks for women, but including anyone who identifies as a woman.
They got lots of pushback from women last time they advertised walks like this. I imagine their team is activist heavy and don’t think the law applies to them:

I've sent an email, told them they're likely to be discriminating against men by arbitrarily allowing some but not others. Suggested they organise events aimed at explicitly including gender non-conforming folk. I'm looking forward to receiving a BBC-esque non answer.

I wonder what everyone involved would think if only men turned up?

A success in the same way a Lib Dem see in all women shortlist, or a failure in that its difficult to be one one the girls when everyone is hoping they are better at tucking than everyone else.

Loads of blokes feel 'comfortable' in a women only space, for all sorts of reasons. It doesn't mean they should be there, though.

As ever, it's about how others feel and not how women feel.

These events are welcoming of any adults who identify as women. We also welcome non-binary individuals who feel comfortable in a women’s only space to these sessions.

Well, it's not a "women only space" in these circumstances, is it?

RSPB, Huh? I wonder if they know the difference between sexes in birds, or if they think a cockerel lays eggs.

Nothing would surprise me.

Maya Forstster, Sex Matters and others challenged them the last time they pulled this. It’s ridiculous that women can’t just have spaces for women. Actual women.
