This looks like a positive thing!

The cynic in me wonders if its a political point-scoring thing, and how soon will some of that cash be used for educating people about trans inclusivity in womens spaces. All those big pressure groups who consulted on Maria Miller's bill will be applying for grants to further their agenda
Please reassure me that this wont happen!

I'm sorry to turn this into a trans thread on the 2nd post but I wonder how they are defining woman?

I think it’s a given that ‘women’ will include transwomen without a GRC, given the way varoous organisations seem determined to pre-empt the proposed GRA changes.

Does funding distribution have to be to objective criteria? Is there any way of finding out what that objective criteria is?

I didn't want to posit it as a trans thread It also concerns me that it will be all people who are born or identify as women.

Maybe we should all write to Amber Rudd's office to ask her about grant criteria?
