When did the Guardian get so stupid? Is there something in the water at King's Place?

I'd like to see a merger between the Transwomen's Institute and The Women's (Honorary) Official Organisation.

Welcome to TWIT TWHOO.

That's be a hoot, alright.

(Sorry.)

Why don’t they just set up a completely mixed sex organisation and call it the Women’s and Honorary Women’s Institute? And carry on doing what they do? Most men wouldn’t be interested. Some might though. And they’d be equally as harmless or as creepy as the average “trans woman”.

Women's And Honorary Women's Actual Hinstitute.

Wah wah.
