This event was shared with me recently. I just can't fathom the kind of feminism which not only includes 'self-identifying women' but actually places them ahead of just women. I mean, actual women don't self-identify as women do they? This looks like they are actually just asking for men to turn up.

Can everyone please remember this quote so that we do not keep having these conversations about the right of women only services providers. Maybe somehow mumsnet could pin it to the top of the FWR thread so it can be referred to, and women's groups who seem grossly uniformed (unless of course they are deliberately flouting the law as they prioritiese men's rights over women's rights).

*“Providers of women-only services can continue to provide services in a different way, or even not provide services to trans individuals, provided it is objectively justified on a case-by-case basis.

“The same can be said about toilets, changing rooms or single-sex activities. Providers may exclude trans people from facilities of the sex they identify with, providing it is a proportionate means of meeting a legitimate aim.”*

So there is one very simple question re Nottingham Women's Centre. Why are they not protecting women only services which the law entitles them to do?

And if they dont want to then they should change their name under the trades description act. ie they are the Nottingham Gender Non Conforming Woke People's Centre.

What patnotpending said. I think they were the first to include men.

Which is a shame as lesbian line operated from there
