A call to all wims to challenge registered charities who claim to be women’s services who include “transwomen”

Inspired by a post about Nottinghams Women’s Centre being trans inclusive, I think it is time we did something. Like pull the ruddy rug on them.

I don’t think it will need the extensive work of the NHS data thread.

There are hundreds of alleged women’s only services who are registered charities. They mostly have a governing document describing themselves as for women only but do not mention “transwomen” in their objects, but do in unlawful policy documents.

All charities have a beneficiary group, which they cannot stray from.

Also if they change their objectives to be “inclusive’”IMHO” the funds they hold on behalf of the original beneficiaries, must be handed back or ring fenced, which is why some of the major charities have conceded, ergo the WI and GG.

My idea is that we target our own localities and make a complaint to the charity commission, about the charity we are a potential beneficiary of.

what do you all think? Happy to coordinate this though i may need @knottyauty

meanwhile i am off to look at a few national bodies

I noticed one cannot sort charities registered as women only services, so i was thinking to FOI them so we have a list.

foi doesn't apply to charities. They're not public bodies

I think only way is to go through charity commission register and check governing documents

Solace women’s aid.

‘Solace has an inclusive definition of women including trans women.’

I had to sit through an horrendous FGM awareness session recently where the trainer, despite showing graphic depictions of mutilated female genitalia, referred several times to how people identify and other gender bollocks.

Fucking insulting.

I checked out solace they have sort of covered their arse with the phrase in their governing document “in particular women and girls” the question then has to be how are funds allocated.

i am thinking we need to identify clear breaches, park/identigfy nebulous concepts and hit them next.
