I know this was mentioned recently on here, and the letter shared, but I can't find the thread.

Women's Institute faces revolt over trans membership policy

The Women's Institute declared on its centenary in 2015 that it welcomed transgender women and, in 2021, featured trans woman Petra Wenham (pictured right) on the cover of its magazine.

@FlirtsWithRhinos I disagree with the gender critical assumptions and framing of your questions. Once again you are conflating your gender critical views with that of all women. The vast majority of women I know actively support trans rights.

Suuuuuure they do.

Like you, the vast majority of women that I know support trans rights. However, they do not support the insertion of trans indentifying men into women's spaces.

I agree with the current policy of the WI which has been in place for decades. Likewise, I think trans men should be allowed in the Freemasons (they are). So no, I don't disagree with "women," I just disagree with gender critical people, and the majority of people here are gender critical.

What makes you think your manly opinion on how women are permitted to behave has any weight, interest or import to women? Leave us alone.

Aristocratic transmen can't inherit, that's all you need to know. When push comes to shove men make sure they can invade all women's boundaries and claim their right to what women have, but they will never allow a man to be supplanted by a woman when $$$$$, or prestige and power are at stake.

I’ve posted on WI Twitter saying that TWAM. I got my post deleted and banned.
no members of the WI who are not in this site will have the remotest idea of what is happening and the repercussions.
They are generally retired women looking for interesting conversation and events suitable for women who are slowing down but not on the scrap heap.
The women I have met if, galvanised , could be a force to be reckoned with. They have often been consultants, Drs, computer engineers from the early days etc.
no wonder they are captured first.

Edited

Have you tried Women's Institute Declaration on Twitter? They are a group of WI members who reject the NFWI EDI policy and are campaigning against it.
