This is an absolute nightmare of a case. If you've not been aware of it before now it's time to wake up and take a hard look at what is happening in women's support services across the UK. There seems to be a concerted effort to dismantle women's boundaries and withdraw support from vulnerable women who need spaces away from men.

The women on the board needs to think about their long term employment prospects/career/reputation and jump - now. There is no way the centre can come back from this and carry on as business as usual, surely they see this and need to think about their own reputations? Because their CEO sure as shit isn't.

I think they're too young and inexperienced to understand that. Which is exactly why they were hired.

YANBU. This makes me really angry.

Very powerful articles, the Mail one particularly good - comprehensive and detailed.
Am I normally a DM reader? Absolutely not.

I don’t think they can though @Poettree tjsts a huge part of the problem. They’re all young women who have 100% brought into this ideology. They’re going to see staying where they are as part of the righteous fight of the oppressed against the system

So much internalised misogyny in this generation. It's very sad.

He should and the Board should also resign

however given how ineffective & inexperienced the Board were & are, I expect they’ll do nothing, agree amongst themselves that the judge must be a ‘TERF’ and MW will resign in a few months time, no doubt falling upwards into a political job

Probably Women’s Rights Adviser to the SNP, @Theeyeballsinthesky. Which would put the last nail in their electoral hopes (with any luck).
