what I'd like to see is a club that exists that can support both positions: where there are inclusive activities (if that's what people want) but also acceptance of women who want to organise single sex groups - and for the non-GC women to accept that. I can't see that happening though as the knee-jerk (coming from the "right side of history" side) seems to be that the club is either/or.
You might want to have more if a read around the threads here. It's interesting in that, once you do, you realise that the knee jerk responses really don't often come from women. Most women here and in real life would just like to be 'allowed' a female group without having to do all the politicking, double thinking, being scared is being ostracized, when, as inevitably happens, a transwoman knowing the group is for women, shoulders their way in.
That transwoman could have joined any cycling club, in this instance. Any club at all. But instead chose to demand entry to the one club that was specifically set up for females. Ask yourself why?
Now you say inclusive, acceptance etc. But that always seems to mean that women only groups cease to exist. So, in reality, there is no compromise. There cannot be. A group is either mixed sex or it isn't. Both are legal, both have their place.
No woman, GC or otherwise, has to accept anything that takes away legal single sex provision if any service.
If you really think about it without the need to be nice, to be accepting, to actually focus on why women want female pursuits then it becomes blindingly obvious that the presence of a single male makes that impossible. And why should women just shrug, smile and accept that?
