The enclosed has been posted on Twitter, obviously they are going to get crap from the TRAs.

I've tweeted a message of support and made a small donation, I thought others might want to do the same or to email with support.

I discovered them last night thanks to the sulking Twitter post calling them ''transphobic'' for enforcing the single sex exemptions in the Equality Act, which they're legally entitled to do. (I can't help but feel that Wight DASH were set up here, tbh.)

They look to be a great charity, one added to the list :)

I saw this last night on twitter. I was very pleased to see many people responding with common sense and a promise to donate.

I'm waiting for an answer from the original account. I want to know why they think it is wrong to sack someone if they are employed as a woman and then decide to transition, because surely then they are a man?

As a result of twitter, a transactivist has actually got around to reading the Equality Act 2010, and they're horrified.

Will donate, thank you.

Emailed them last night! Smile

''The equality act needs to change''.

So in other words, ''we need to remove the law that allows abused women and their likely traumatised young children access to female only safe spaces and support services''.

Nice.

That sums up their whole agenda though, really.

I am donating to Wight-DASH also.

What I rather like* is that they have helpfully listed no less than 7 charities in the sector that they believe to be inclusive of transwomen and non-binary people, but it is still a problem that a single woman-only charity remains.

Does anyone have a link to that tweet/thread? I can't seem to find it. Thanks.

Their second tweet has screenshots of the ''rather disgusting policy''.

Thanks yourhairiswinterfire.

I enjoyed reading that, one of the best ratios I've ever seen.

How do we donate?

HecatesCatsInFancyHats · 24/04/2021 13:41

The need for validation is a powerful drug. There's never enough.

Have donated too.

It never ceases to amaze and amuse when folk who purport to be fighting on the side of the angels instead only end up showing themselves in their true light...and it ain't pretty...

PeridotEyes · 24/04/2021 14:15

I loved this response from a Twitter user:

Away and harass some men for a change, would you?
For people who claim sex is a spectrum you are experts at sniffing out and targeting female groups

PeridotEyes · 24/04/2021 14:21

Donated.
